Based in Los Angeles, Todd Lubin will report directly to Fortier and Schneeberg. While overseeing the unscripted division, Lubin will also continue working on the highly anticipated “Orphan Black: Echoes.” This series, a reboot of the popular “Orphan Black” franchise, will feature new characters within the same world.
