Ex-Eleventh Hour chief joins Caryn Mandabach Productions as MD

Nicole Finnan

Peaky Blinders outfit Caryn Mandabach Productions has landed the former MD of Eleventh Hour Films to replace Susan Waddell, who is stepping down.

Nicole Finnan will oversee development and strategy at the prodco as she takes on the remit from Waddell, who is leaving after seven years at the company. Waddell will remain on the books during the transition.

Finnan has been a consultant since stepping down at Alex Rider prodco Eleventh Hour in 2020, as revealed by TBI. She had been at the Sony Pictures Television-backed drama prodco since 2017, working on shows such as Safe House.

Mandabach said Finnan’s “wealth of experience and knowledge” would help the prodco as it enters “the next chapter in our growth.”
