Overview

• Amazon MGM has not named a successor, and Mike Hopkins notified staff in a separate memo.
• Sanders said he chose to leave after deciding earlier this summer that he wanted to reengage with the day-to-day creative process.
• The departure comes about six months after Jennifer Salke left the company, and industry reports describe unconfirmed outreach by Hopkins to outside TV leaders.
• During Sanders’ seven-year tenure, Prime Video mounted series such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Fallout, The Boys, Jack Ryan, and The Summer I Turned Pretty.
