EXCLUSIVE: Caroline Roseman is exiting Banijay UK‘s unscripted label Initial to relocate to New York.
The former Fulwell 73 exec has been with the Big Brother producer since January last year in a Creative Director of Development role, but is now moving across the pond for a “huge move personally and professionally.”
Her and her family are moving after receiving “an offer we couldn’t refuse.”
“It’s been a brilliant 18 month journey as [Initial’s] Creative Director of Development with major new series commissions coming down the line that I’m hugely proud of and looking forward to watching in 2025 and beyond,” she added in a LinkedIn post.
Initial parent Banijay UK confirmed her exit, but didn’t provide details of a replacement.
During Roseman’s time at Initial, the production house launched the latest incarnation of Big Brother UK, this time on ITV. The show has played on both Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the past in the UK.
Initial also makes the long-running Soccer Aid fundraiser special for ITV, quiz show Tenable and a local version of Beauty and the Geek. Further back, it made shows such as The Games and Total Wipeout.
Roseman has more than 20 years of experience in TV production. Before Initial, she was Director of Development and executive producer at The Late, Late Show producer Fulwell 73, overseeing all UK and U.S. unscripted development. Her credits include An Audience with Adele for ITV, Prime Video’s The One That Got Away, Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl for Disney+, gameshow Visual Suspect for TF1 in France and Sex Unzipped for Netflix. Further back, she worked on MTV’s Ex on the Beach, ITV’s BBQ Champ and Channel 5’s Lip Sync Battle during a spell at Whizz Kid Entertainment.
