Blumhouse TV has finally found its new president: Melissa Aouate of Fabel Entertainment.
Aouate steps into the position previously held by Chris McCumber, the former USA Network executive, who departed in October 2023. In the meantime, Jason Gold, President of Production at Blumhouse TV, has been assigned to this role on a temporary basis.
Gretchen Palek will continue to lead Blumhouse TV’s unscripted division, as announced by the company on Thursday. Meanwhile, Rob Hackett remains in charge of Atomic Monster’s television operations, which function independently within Blumhouse. (Following their merger in 2024, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster have formed a sanctuary for horror productions — if one could exist. Previously, they had collaborated on projects like Insidious, M3GAN, and Night Swim.)
Blumhouse Television has recently released “The Bondsman” starring Kevin Bacon, and is set to debut the “Scarpetta” series featuring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis on Amazon Prime Video. They are also known for producing Showtime’s “The Good Lord Bird” and HBO’s “Sharp Objects.
For the last nine years, Aouate held the positions of president and partner at Fabel Entertainment. This renowned company is recognized for developing the critically acclaimed series Bosch, as well as producing Brilliant Minds for NBC.
As a devoted fan, I’d put it like this: “I feel incredibly lucky that Melissa has joined us at Blumhouse to head our scripted television division. Her impeccable taste and proven track record of success in both daring and mainstream projects make her the perfect fit as we expand and maintain our roster of hit series. I’m overjoyed to have her on board at Blumhouse.
Aouate expressed his enthusiasm about spearheading the project to extend Blumhouse’s distinctive style of daring, impactful storytelling to TV. This brand is renowned for its innovative approach, catering to diverse audiences, and taking creative risks while keeping the viewer at the forefront.
Prior to Fabel, Aouate was a literary agent at ICM Partners.
