LOS ANGELES - September 23, 2019 - The senior executives tapped to lead original non-fiction content for HBO Max were announced today by Jennifer O'Connell, Executive Vice President, Original Non-Fiction and Kids, HBO Max.

Rebecca has a proven track record of creating and producing internationally renowned formats and franchises. I'm so fortunate to have this killer team to help build up the HBO Max non-fiction slate with our producing partners, both within the WarnerMedia family, as well as the rest of the creative community.

Brett has overseen production at top production companies and produced some of the industry's most popular hit shows, said Weissman. His ability to apply his extensive experience and knowledge on day one has been a great addition to the non-fiction team.

Lizzie Fox has been named Senior Vice President, Non-fiction Programming, HBO Max.
