Howell Taylor, who also recently produced the 92nd Academy Awards and whose other credits including A Star Is Born, The Accountant and Blue Valentine, is expanding her relationship with the company, which she is already working with on multiple film projects.
The deal will see 51 Entertainment develop and produce premium scripted and unscripted series for streaming platforms and cable networks. Brit Howell Taylor has also hired former WME agent Flora Hackett as a producer and executive.

Hackett joins 51 Entertainment’s film and television producer Samantha Housman and Director of Development Sammy Rosenthal.“Having enjoyed collaborating on the film side, we are excited to extend this fantastic relationship with our Endeavor Content partners to create iconic television content, exploring new avenues for storytelling.
