Skydance Sports has hired Kitty Gambel as its new senior vice president of Alternative Unscripted, according to an announcement reported Monday by Deadline. Gambel’s start date is September 8, and she will report to Jon Weinbach, the company’s head of Unscripted.

The move comes after Gambel served at Amazon MGM Studios’ MGM Alternative, where she was described as SVP for Unscripted and Alternative TV. Deadline’s report says she previously held a creative lead role at MGM Alternative, indicating she will bring continuity across alternative unscripted development and production functions.

In her new position at Skydance Sports, Gambel is expected to help lead the studio’s alternative unscripted slate. The report characterizes Skydance Sports as a Paramount-owned company, placing the appointment within a broader reshuffling and staffing cadence that often accompanies studio-level programming strategy.

Deadline reports that Gambel will focus on the alternative unscripted area within Skydance Sports, rather than scripted series. That framing matters for audiences who follow unscripted content categories such as docu-series and other non-fiction formats, because the role is positioned around development and oversight of programming intended for broadcast and streaming-style consumption.

At MGM Alternative, Deadline says Gambel served as creative lead, a role that typically involves shaping projects through early development and executive-level production decisions. The outlet also places her at the senior leadership level across both “Unscripted and Alternative TV,” suggesting she was responsible for more than a single vertical within the unscripted business.

The new hire also underscores the centrality of alternative unscripted content in major media portfolios, where studios look for formats that can be scaled, syndicated across platforms, and adapted to audience interests. For Skydance Sports, the appointment aligns alternative unscripted leadership specifically to a sports-focused branded studio, indicating an emphasis on non-fiction and reality-adjacent storytelling tied to athletics and sports culture.

Deadline’s report does not specify individual projects, deliverables, or any changes to current Skydance Sports leadership beyond Gambel’s reporting line to Weinbach. It also does not detail whether Gambel’s start will coincide with a broader production schedule or staffing expansion.

Gambel’s first day is set for September 8, giving Skydance Sports a defined timeline to integrate her responsibilities into ongoing development workflows. Any subsequent announcements about the studio’s alternative unscripted slate, production partners, or release plans were not included in the reported item.

Why It Matters

  • The September 8 start date sets a near-term leadership change for Skydance Sports’ alternative unscripted division.
  • Because the role sits within Paramount’s corporate structure, the hire may influence how the studio prioritizes non-scripted and alternative programming across related platforms.
  • Gambel’s prior creative leadership at MGM Alternative suggests she may bring established development and production oversight practices to Skydance Sports.
  • Alternative unscripted programming can affect release schedules and staffing needs for crews, production partners, and writers or creators associated with non-fiction formats.
  • The reporting line to Jon Weinbach indicates how internal decision-making is expected to be organized for alternative unscripted content.
