SBS appoints new head of scripted

SBS has appointed a new head of scripted to oversee all of its commissioned scripted content.

Nakul Legha takes on the role after originally joining SBS in January as commissioning editor. He moved over from Netflix, where he spent several years growing the streamer’s local content strategy, overseeing production as a creative executive. He also led Netflix’s local film and TV programming and acquisitions.

Legha has also worked at the ABC, where he negotiated commissioning, acquisition, and talent deals, and advised on key initiatives for emerging and diverse talent.
