‘The Morning Show’ Producer Media Res Taps Sandra Dewey as Chief Operating Officer

Turner Broadcasting and Max alumnus Sandra Dewey has joined “The Morning Show” producer Media Res as chief operating officer.

Dewey will help guide the company’s expansion across scripted and nonfiction content. Media Res, founded in 2017 by former HBO executive Michael Ellenberg, has set out a growth plan on the heels of a recent investment from Redbird IMI, the media-focused fund headed by former CNN and NBCUniversal chief Jeff Zucker.

Dewey had a long tenure as a senior business executive at Turner Broadcasting during the company’s heyday as a cable programming pioneer. Media Res is a busy Los Angeles-based production boutique that is home to Apple TV +’s starry Reese Witherspoon-Jennifer Aniston drama series, as well as buzzy shows such as Amazon Prime Video’s “I’m a Virgo” and the Apple TV + drama series “Pachinko” and limited series “Extrapolations.”

“I have had an exciting and extensive career, so I have been extremely particular about what would come next. The opportunity to work with Michael Ellenberg and Media Res hit a bullseye for me which proved irresistible – a dynamic growth business with an attitude and a track record,” Dewey said. “The company has a report card of success with both material and talent that defies industry trends. In this rapidly changing media landscape, Media Res is poised to flex its strengths and show what it can do, and I can’t wait.”

Dewey previously served as president of business operations and production for Warner Media’s streaming service Max, which included business planning and launch of the service. At Turner, she ran business affairs, production and operations for TNT, TBS and truTV, among other responsibilities.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sandra into the fold at this exciting moment in the company’s evolution,” said Ellenberg. “Sandra’s wide-ranging strategic and operational expertise is matched by her fierce intellect and graceful leadership style. We are blessed to have her join us in this vital role for Media Res.”
