Paramount+ originals chief Jane Wiseman leaves as HBO team takes over

Jane Wiseman, head of originals at Paramount+, is leaving the streamer. Casey Bloys, who now oversees both HBO Max and Paramount+, announced the change in an internal memo on 23 October, thanking Wiseman for her work and noting that she had offered to help with the handover.

Sarah Aubrey, head of originals at HBO Max, takes over the Paramount+ slate, and Wiseman's team will report to her. Wiseman follows Cindy Holland, who left Paramount's streaming business ahead of the reorganisation.

For Star Trek, the change matters because Paramount+ is where every current series lives. Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy are both heading into their final seasons, so whichever Star Trek series comes next will be commissioned by the new leadership. No changes to existing shows have been announced.
