BBC Studios Promotes Eve Frederick to EVP of Unscripted Production, LA

BBC Studios has promoted Eve Frederick to executive vice president of production for the unscripted team in Los Angeles.

Frederick oversees a slate of TV programming that includes ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” — which broke ratings records in its 34th season — plus Netflix’s “Outlast,” Bravo’s “Ladies of London” and Fox’s “Celebrity Weakest Link” and “The 1% Club.” Her portfolio also includes the National Geographic franchise “Life Below Zero,” Netflix’s “Murder Among the Mormons,” Motor Trend’s “Top Gear America” and “Breaking Bobby Bones.”

Under her leadership, “Dancing With the Stars,” “Celebrity Weakest Link” and “The 1% Club” earned the Environmental Media Gold Seal Award for sustainable production.

Frederick joined BBC Studios in 2018 from Matador Content, where she was ultimately named executive in charge.

“I’m proud to step into this expanded role at a company that sets the standard for meaningful, global entertainment,” Frederick said in a statement. “The Los Angeles team has built something truly special, and we continue to expand our creative footprint in thrilling ways. I’m grateful to Ryan O’Dowd for the trust to lead our production teams, advance BBC Studios’ creative excellence, and — at the end of the day — produce epic television.”

“Eve is an exceptional leader and a driving force behind some of our most ambitious and successful unscripted productions,” said Ryan O’Dowd, president of unscripted at BBC. “She combines tremendous instincts and operational excellence with empathy, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to both talent and crew. Her promotion reflects not only her remarkable track record, but the respect she’s earned across our teams, partners, and networks.”
