- Dinner Party Productions signed a multi-year overall deal at 20th Television, following a previous overall deal at UCP that began in 2024.
- The new deal allows Dinner Party to develop and produce series across all Disney Entertainment platforms, rather than the 20th Television label alone.
- Aquinnah Fox was elevated to director of development at Dinner Party, reporting into Naegle and Krug.
- Dinner Party most recently produced Peacock's "The Five-Star Weekend" starring Jennifer Garner.
- At Annapurna, Naegle and Krug executive produced "Pam & Tommy," "The Staircase," "I Love That for You," and "Dead Ringers."
- Naegle previously served as chief content officer at Annapurna, where she launched the company's theater division; she began her career at UTA before becoming president of HBO Entertainment in 2008.
- Krug was co-head of TV for Annapurna before launching Dinner Party, with credits there including "Monsterland" and "Soundtrack."
Why it matters: Naegle brings a prestige TV slate (Pam & Tommy, The Staircase, The Five-Star Weekend) and former HBO Entertainment leadership to 20th Television, where president Karey Burke cited her reputation for drawing top talent and IP. The deal spans all Disney Entertainment platforms rather than the 20th Television label alone, shifting Naegle and Krug's development pipeline from UCP to Disney's.
