Vice President of Production for the Original Series As Anne Mensah explained, “establishing a team entirely based in the United Kingdom was always about being able to better connect with the fantastic program-makers we have here — to provide a space for writers, producers, and directors to work in a friendly and familiar environment while also giving talent the opportunity to create shows that will have an impact on a global level.”
