Exclusive: MGM Alternative is undergoing some leadership changes.
Lucilla D’Agostino is taking sole charge of MGM-owned producers Big Fish Entertainment (On Patrol: Live) and Evolution Media, which is behind a number of The Real Housewives franchises, after the exit of Dan Cesareo.
Cesareo founded the company, which was also behind A&e’s Live Pd and Food Network’s Amy Schumer Learns To Cook, in 2006 and sold it to MGM in June 2018. It is understood he is exiting after his five-year deal came to an end.
Cesareo will still oversee and exec produce On Patrol: Live, which has become a ratings success for Reelz, and D’Agostino will also exec produce. Cesareo’s arrangement is similar to that of former MGM’s Worldwide Television Group Chairman Mark Burnett, who will continue to exec produce legacy series The Voice, Shark Tank and Survivor, and Alex Baskin, who continues to exec produce...

The Chippendales appear to be making a comeback — on the screen, at least. Hulu is developing the eight-episode “Immigrant,” following the story of Chippendales founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee, while Dev Patel and Ben Stiller have been attached to a project about the 80s-era male revue, from producer David Permut, for several years.
But beating them both to the punch is A&e’s latest documentary series, the four-part “Secrets of the Chippendales Murders,” which launched March 14. The series continues this Monday with a hefty contribution from longtime Hollywood publicist Jay Schwartz, who in his 20s served as an associate producer at the Chippendales nightclub. Schwartz worked for Nick DeNoia, who was Banerjee’s business partner — until their relationship soured and DeNoia ended up dead.
“Nick was my boss, and you could describe him as a cross between Harvey Weinstein and Scott Rudin,” Schwartz said. “He was not a very nice man.
