Foxtel is backing the screen adaptation of Paul Kelly's Christmas classic 'How to Make Gravy' as a recipe for Binge's entry into feature films, with the project to shoot on the Gold Coast and star Hugo Weaving and Daniel Henshall.
As the executive director of drama for the Foxtel Group, Walsh will oversee all commissioned drama across both Foxtel and Binge, and consult on the company's scripted content strategy and industry relations.
Foxtel Group chief commercial and content officer and Binge managing director Amanda Laing will depart Foxtel later this year after six years with the company.
Foxtel has entered into a multi-year content partnership with Sony Pictures that covers a range of new releases and library movies and iconic TV series.
Amanda Laing will oversee content across all of Foxtel's brands, while Brian Walsh will spearhead a new Originals division as part of a reorganisation of the Foxtel executive team.
Foxtel has confirmed it has inked a new multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to allow it to continue as the local platform for HBO, Max Originals, Warner Bros., and Discovery programming.
