- Jeff Gaspin is exiting his role as Netflix’s VP of unscripted series effective July 1, after a little more than two years in the position.
- Jeff Gaspin will remain with Netflix as a producer, overseeing upcoming series such as “Monopoly” and “Physical 100: USA.”
- Jeff Gaspin will continue to work on existing unscripted titles like “Age of Attraction” and handle live events, including SAG‑AFTRA’s Actor Awards.
- Jeff Gaspin previously expanded Netflix’s live‑event slate with productions like “Skyscraper Live” and “BTS The Comeback Live.”
- Jeff Gaspin has a long unscripted résumé, having created VH1’s “Behind the Music” franchise and overseen Bravo hits “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “Project Runway.”
- Jeff Gaspin led Gaspin Media, producing Netflix hits “The Tinder Swindler,” “Rhythm & Flow,” and “The First Lady.”
Why it matters: Netflix retains Gaspin’s production expertise while losing his day‑to‑day oversight as VP, meaning the unscripted division will see a leadership transition but continuity on key projects like “Monopoly” and live events, and this move also opens a senior slot for internal talent to step up.
