Miramax strengthens global expansion with key hires in MENA and UK
Miramax continues to strengthen its presence in the MENA region through the Miramax Doha office. Miramax, the film and television studio owned by BeIN Media Group and Paramount Pictures, has taken a significant step in its strategic global expansion by appointing Lucy Dertavitian as Head of Content for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Carissa Hope Lynch as Creative Director for the United Kingdom. These appointments reflect Miramax's commitment to enhancing its international presence and developing intellectual property for global audiences. Alix Jaffe, President, Miramax Television, said: 'We're thrilled to announce the team leading Miramax Television's international expansion, with Carissa helming the UK and Lucy guiding our efforts across MENA. This team will be instrumental in building our global footprint, demonstrating our commitment to reimagining our iconic IP and creating original stories for new audiences around the world. We're excited for the opportunity ahead.' In her new role, Dertavitian will be based in Doha, Qatar, and report to Mirsada Abdool Raman, Senior Vice President of Television. Her responsibilities include collaborating with local producers, writers, and directors to adapt Miramax Library IP into Arabic-language series as well as developing original projects with local talent to sell to buyers throughout the region. Her experience at MBC Studios and OSN positions her well to lead the studio's efforts in the region, particularly through the Miramax Doha office. Meanwhile, Lynch joins the Miramax London office and will report directly to Jaffe. She is tasked with overseeing the studio's UK development and production efforts, further expanding its presence in a key international market. She will collaborate closely with Creative Executive Rosie Collins to transform Miramax's film catalog into television content. Lynch brings a wealth of experience from her time at Eleven Film, where she played a central role in successful projects like Stags (Paramount+, 2024), Red Rose (BBC/Netflix, 2022) and White Stork (Netflix). In addition to her creative work, she is known for her dedication to nurturing emerging talent through initiatives such as the 'Duly Noted' script editor training program with the BBC and Sony. Miramax's television and film portfolio continues to thrive, with recent successes including The Gentleman, which was renewed for a second season on Netflix, and the acquisition of Panoramic's stake in the Robert DeNiro-led Zero Day, which topped Netflix's Most-Watched TV list. On the film side, Miramax recently premiered Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth installment in the beloved franchise, earning $130m internationally.
