- Amazon is expanding its nonfiction team by hiring longtime Netflix executive Liz Franco, per an exclusive report.
- Franco spent five years at Netflix, where she served as an exec on the docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.
- Her additional Netflix credits include Sean Combs: The Reckoning, Simone Biles Rising, and American Murder: Gabby Petito.
- The hire places Franco at a streaming rival as Amazon continues to build out its unscripted slate.
Why it matters: Franco brings a Netflix docuseries résumé built on high-profile true-crime and celebrity projects — including titles tied to Sean Combs and Gabby Petito — to Amazon's nonfiction division. Netflix loses a five-year veteran who oversaw some of its recent prestige docuseries. The move adds proven unscripted-experience depth to Amazon's streaming operation.
