Rola Bauer Departs Amazon Studios Amid Strategic Shift

Bauer leaves her role as head of Pan-English scripted originals to return to entrepreneurial ventures.

Rola Bauer, a veteran international TV executive, is stepping down from her position at Amazon Studios after a mutual decision with the company.
She was appointed head of Pan-English scripted originals following Amazon's $8.5 billion acquisition of MGM in 2022.
Bauer's team produced several high-profile series, including 'Harlan Coben’s Lazarus' and 'Haven,' which are set to debut on Amazon Prime over the next 18 months.
The Pan-English division will be integrated into the larger Amazon MGM Studios team as Amazon shifts its focus to global blockbusters and hyper-local content.
Bauer plans to return to her entrepreneurial roots, leveraging her extensive experience in international co-productions.
