MUMBAI: BBC’s chief content officer Charlotte Moore and one of the UK’s most influential media executives, is making a power move. Moore has been named CEO of Sony-owned Left Bank Pictures, the powerhouse behind hit shows like The Crown. But that’s not all-she’s also stepping into a newly created role as EVP, Sony Pictures Television (SPT) International Production Group creative director.
A career-defining transition, Moore’s appointment places her at the helm of one of the UK’s most prestigious production houses while also shaping Sony’s broader global creative vision. She takes over from the Left Bank co-founder and long-time CEO Andy Harries, who is moving into an executive chair role after 18 years steering the company’s success.
At Left Bank, Moore will oversee its award-winning slate, ensuring the studio remains at the forefront of premium storytelling. But her remit doesn’t end there. As EVP, creative director of SPT International Production Group, she will drive the creative direction for Sony’s expanding global content strategy, influencing projects across multiple territories.
Moore expressed her enthusiasm for the challenge ahead, stating, “The opportunity to lead Left Bank Pictures, a studio with such an extraordinary legacy, while also shaping Sony Pictures Television’s international creative vision, is truly exciting. I look forward to working with the exceptional teams at both companies to continue delivering world-class storytelling.”
Moore’s departure from the BBC marks the end of an era. She has been instrumental in shaping the corporation’s content strategy, overseeing major successes across drama, entertainment, and factual programming. Under her leadership, the BBC launched groundbreaking hits, strengthened its digital footprint, and reinforced its position as a global content powerhouse.
At Left Bank Pictures, she inherits a studio with an enviable track record. Founded in 2007, Left Bank has delivered acclaimed titles such as The Crown, Outlander, and Three Pines. As Moore takes the reins, expectations are high for the studio’s next wave of premium productions.
As Moore steps into this high-profile role, all eyes will be on how she shapes the next chapter for Left Bank Pictures and Sony’s international content ambitions. One thing is certain-Hollywood and beyond will be paying attention.
