- Deanna Harris has been named Vice President of Television at Alloy Entertainment, reporting to President and CCO Leslie Morgenstein.
- Harris joins Alloy from DiVide Pictures — Milo Ventimiglia's production company — where she served as Head of Television since 2017.
- Her new remit covers Alloy's full series slate, including the Amazon YA series The Probability of Miracles, which is currently in production.
- At DiVide, Harris developed ABC's The Company You Keep (one season in 2023) and Evel, the Evel Knievel biopic series that USA Network pulled during the Covid pandemic.
- The hire comes six months after Alloy promoted Chelsea Kardos to a similar VP-level television role, marking a second major TV-team addition this cycle.
- Alloy Entertainment, owned by Skydance's Warner Bros. Television Group, is the production company behind Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries.
- Morgenstein said Harris "really connects with the Alloy brand" and brings a passion for authentic YA storytelling, while Harris praised Alloy's "ability to tap into the coming-of-age experience."
Why it matters: Alloy is doubling down on its YA pipeline — adding a second TV-team leader in six months while one of its marquee projects, The Probability of Miracles, is mid-production at Amazon. Harris's track record developing for broadcast (ABC) and cable (USA Network) gives the Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries producer a hire with broader network experience beyond its streaming-YA core, potentially expanding the kind of pitches Alloy can take to market.
