The new combined leadership structure for its central scripted division is designed "to effectively support and partner with the group's thriving portfolio of over 60 dedicated labels."

European TV giant Banijay Entertainment - whose more-than 60 labels have produced recent shows such as “Rogue Heroes,” “Ripley” and “The Rig” - has expanded the roles of two execs as it rejigs its global scripted division.

Matthews joined Banijay in 2023 and is credited with “fueling the storytelling pipeline” at the company by introducing the Banijay Bootcamp, where emerging writers get to work with existing executives. Meanwhile, Jensen previously served as head of scripted for Banijay Nordic and led both Jarowskij and Yellow Bird.

Steve Matthews and Johannes Jensen have been handed new roles in Banijay Entertainment’s central scripted division. Matthews has been named Head of Scripted, Creative, and Jensen Head of Scripted, Business.
