Recent studio recruits Daria Cercek and Michael Ireland will take over under new chairman Brian Robbins.
Paramount Pictures motion picture group president Emma Watts is leaving the studio to be replaced, as group co-heads by current co-presidents of production Daria Cercek and Michael Ireland.
The moves follow the surprise departure two weeks ago of Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos, now succeeded by Brian Robbins, from the streaming and TV side of studio parent ViacomCBS.
Watts joined Paramount in June 2020, reuniting with Gianopulos after two decades at Twentieth Century Studios, where she became chief executive after the Disney-Fox merger.
