Shine exec jumps to Warner Bros

Former Shine Australia executive producer Shaun Murphy has joined Warner Bros’ Australian production company.

Murphy takes the newly created role of head of entertainment at Warner Bros International Television Production (WBITVP) Australia.

That’s the rebranded name of Eyeworks Australia following the Hollywood studio’s acquisition of the Eyeworks Group last year.

Murphy's executive producer credits include three seasons of The Bachelor Australia, Australia's Next Top Model for Foxtel and Crips & Bloods: Made in America for PBS.

WBITVP is producing a seventh season of Who Do You Think You Are? for SBS and What Really Happens in Thailand, a co-production with McAvoy Media, for the Seven Network.

Andrew Zein, senior VP of creative, format development and sales at WBITVP, said: “Shaun joining underlines our commitment and ambition for growing our Australian production business.”
