Nick picks Valentine for live-action

Nickelodeon’s international arm has hired producer Charly Valentine to become senior director, live-action production and development.

Valentine (pictured) has worked on adult-skewing series and events such as Gogglebox, The Royal Television Society Awards, Britain’s Got Talent, Masterchef, The X Factor and MTV UK show Geordie Shore.

At Nick International, Valentine will be based in London and oversee live action production and development for the Viacom International Media Networks channel globally.

“Nickelodeon is committed to delivering fresh and innovative global live action content that will delight our young viewers across all platforms,” said Nick’s senior VP, development and production, Nina Hahn. “I’m confident that Charly will be an asset in continuing to build our worldwide live action content pipeline.”

Last month, Nick’s US flagship channel co-commissioned live-action series Ride with Canada’s YTV. Previous international efforts include the popular House of Anubis.
