Freeform, a cable network owned by Walt Disney Television, named Tara Duncan as its new president.
“The programming on Freeform makes me think, laugh and feel good at a time when being optimistic matters most,” said Duncan, according to Variety.
During her time at Netflix, she worked as a creative executive overseeing shows like Orange Is the New Black and Narcos in addition to helping launch Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It; The Get Down; Sens8; and Dear White People.
“Tara is an exceptionally skilled executive and a seasoned producer who is bringing a wealth of experience, across linear channels and streaming platforms, to her new role,” said Walden in an interview with Deadline.
Getting her inside of Walt Disney Television has been a priority and I am thrilled she will be leading the formidable Freeform team.”
