Nissa Diederich, EVP of production at 20^th Television, is stepping down after more than 25 years at the Disney-owned company and its previous incarnations.

Her exit was announced in an internal memo to staff from 20th Television president Karey Burke this week.

During her time at the company, Diederich has overseen shows including Homeland, Glee, This Is Us, Only Murders In The Building, the American Crime Story franchise and the upcoming Percy Jackson And The Olympians.

Diederich took on her current position in early 2021, following the exit of Jim Sharp, previously holding the same role at Touchstone Television. Prior to that, she served as SVP at Fox 21 and 20^th Century Fox Television.

“I know you will all join me in thanking Nissa for her incredible contributions to 20th Television and cheering her on in her next chapter,” wrote Burke in the memo.
