- Chris Noriega has been appointed Head of Television Literary at Verve, replacing Felicia Prinz, who left the agency to become a manager and Partner at Range Media Partners.
- Noriega will oversee Verve's Television Literary team, working across premium scripted television and franchise IP.
- Noriega joined Verve in 2011, was promoted to Partner in 2021, and has represented showrunners, writers, directors, and creators throughout his tenure.
- Noriega began his career in finance before transitioning into the entertainment industry.
- Verve co-founding partners Adam Levine and Bryan Besser called Noriega "one of the most thoughtful, ambitious, and forward-looking agents in the business" and a "trusted strategic partner" to managers, creative executives, and clients.
Why it matters: Verve is handing its TV literary leadership to a 14-year agency veteran, signaling continuity in its scripted and franchise strategy after a defection to Range Media Partners. Promoting from within preserves institutional relationships with showrunners and writers that are the core asset of a literary department.
