Christel Miller, a key executive behind the 2023 TV experiment “Jury Duty,” has joined Fabel Entertainment as senior creative executive for special projects.
In the newly created role, Miller will work with CEO Henrik Bastin and SVP Jasmine Rath to “expand the company’s diverse pipeline of premium scripted content, forge new partnerships, package projects with top talent, and lead high-value development opportunities that advance the company’s long-term vision,” according to a press release.
Fabel previously served as head of scripted content at Freevee, a free streaming service owned by Amazon MGM Studios.

“We have known Christel for a long time as a great executive and collaborator who works on the buyer side,” Bastin said. “She has a great eye for storytelling and a talent for identifying what makes a show special. We’re excited to have her join Fabel and she’ll be working hard with our team as we prepare for Season 2 of The Ballad and Bosch: Start of Watch in the new year.”

She is a builder of hit series, a champion of great ideas, and a trusted creative guide. Her experience and true love of craft make her an inspirational partner, and exactly the kind of person we want in our corner of making the TV we love.”
