EXCLUSIVE: Miramax has appointed former Village Roadshow, Amigos de Garcia and CBS executive Alix Jaffe as President of Television, effective March 31. She succeeds Marc Helwig who departed the company at the start of 2025 after almost five years.
In her new role, Jaffe will oversee teams across Los Angeles, London and Doha, reporting to Jonathan Glickman, CEO of Miramax, which is owned by Qatari-based beIN Media Group and Paramount Global. Miramax’s SVP of Television Development Mirsada Abdool Raman will report to Jaffe.
“The combination of Alix’s razor-sharp creative instincts, deep talent relationships, and her expertise in nurturing both existing IP and original content creates an extraordinary opportunity for Miramax TV,” Glickman said. “With the strength of Miramax’s iconic library, she is uniquely positioned to drive innovative storytelling, elevate our global business, and lead us in delivering the highest-quality talent and stories to audiences worldwide.”
Jaffe, whose experience in television development and production spans two decades, was most recently EVP of Television for Village Roadshow Entertainment Group, which has been facing financial issues as of late. There, she oversaw scripted television content as well as projects from the parent company’s library, including the Nash Bridges revival movie for USA/Peacock and the launch of the BBC Two series We Might Regret This, which was recently greenlighted for two additional seasons.
Before joining Village Roadshow in 2019, Jaffe served as President of Greg Garcia’s CBS Studios-based production company Amigos de Garcia. She was an executive producer on TBS’ The Guest Book and was a producer on CBS’ The Millers, both created by Garcia.
Prior to that, Jaffe was an executive in CBS’ current department, overseeing such series as Under the Dome, Blue Bloods, Numb3rs, How I Met Your Mother and Rules of Engagement. Early in her CBS tenure, she played an important role in the inaugural Survivor marketing campaign.
“I’m thrilled to join Jon and the incredible team at Miramax,” Jaffe said. “I’ve long admired their rich catalog and look forward to creating bold new shows, developing fresh original content and telling stories that push boundaries and resonate with audiences around the world.”
Miramax’s current TV series slate includes the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated The Gentleman, which has been renewed for Season 2 by Netflix with production set to begin in April.
