Blumhouse Television has completed the build-out of its senior programming team, appointing Eben Davidson as EVP, scripted programming.

Davidson was most recently at Paramount, where he served as SVP, development, for the television division. He was responsible for both scripted and unscripted concepts and oversaw productions for Netflix, Amazon, Epix, BET and E!. Before moving to television, Davidson was at Paramount Pictures, where he worked on eight Academy Award-nominated and/or winning films, including Arrival, Florence Foster Jenkins and Anomalisa, plus Top Five, Everybody Wants Some!! Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, Jackass 3D, Justin Bieber Never Say Never, Footloose, and Katy Perry: Part of Me.

He joins Mary Lisio, who was recently hired as EVP, alternative and non-scripted programming. Prior to joining Blumhouse Television, Lisio served as EVP, non-fiction and branded content and was an executive producer on specials, non-fiction series and branded content for Ridley Scott’s Scott Free and RSA Films.

“Eben and Mary are an amazing combination,” said Marci Wiseman co-president at Blumhouse Television. “Between them, they enjoy relationships with the best-established and up-and-coming creators across scripted and unscripted programming. We are so fortunate to have them and Chris, who has already played an integral role in helping to develop our slate.”

“With so many projects already in motion, including The Purge series with USA/SyFy, and most recently the unscripted series we just announced with AMC’s Sundance TV, having a terrific team ensures our ability to execute at the highest level,” added Jeremy Gold co-president at Blumhouse Television. “2018 is going to be a transformational year for us.”
