Huff becomes senior VP, development and production, overseeing Playground’s drama slate, and Dolbec becomes director of development, working with Huff on TV and theatre projects.

Huff exec produces Starz series The White Princess and BBC drama The Missing. He was also a producer on acclaimed Hilary Mantel adaptation Wolf Hall for BBC One.
