Paramount+ head of originals Jane Wiseman is following her former boss Cindy Holland in exiting the streamer. Wiseman, who joined Paramount+ in August 2025, won’t make the transition to the merged Skydance structure under Casey Bloys, who revealed his new structure in a memo to staff on Friday.

As part of the change, HBO Max head of original programming Sarah Aubrey will also handle those duties at Paramount+.

Speculation had centered on Bloys’ plans to consolidate Paramount+ into the HBO Max family after he was given the keys to the streamer last month. As part of the news, Holland immediately exited, leaving open the question of what would happen to Wiseman. Although insiders said Wiseman had expressed a willingness to stay, Bloys’ new setup keeps the HBO Max structure intact. Paramount+ already had a lean staff, so it’s unclear how much more attrition there might be.

At Paramount+, Wiseman ramped up the streamer’s output, ordering shows including “Discretion” with Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, while striking deals with producers such as the Duffer Brothers and Issa Rae. Under Wiseman and Holland, the streamer ordered nearly 30 new series and renewed an additional 16.

Prior to Paramount+, Wiseman spent a little over a year as head of U.S. television at Sister, and before that spent time as a consultant for Prime Video. Wiseman spent 10 years at Netflix as VP of original series and head of comedy, working closely with Holland there as an early hire just as the streamer was ramping up its original offerings back in 2014.

Wiseman’s career has also included time as senior VP/head of comedy at Chernin Entertainment, senior VP of comedy at NBCUniversal and director of comedy development at Fox.

As for Aubrey, she’s been in charge of originals at HBO Max since 2019, before the service launched. She remained in her role after Bloys took on oversight of the streamer in August 2020. Before that, Aubrey was exec VP of original programming at TNT, and a TV and film producer at Film 44 (“Friday Night Lights”).
