Wheelhouse Entertainment, the US unscripted firm led by Brent Montgomery, has promoted Gardner Reed to SVP of development.

In his elevated role, the longtime development exec will focus on character-driven content, developing for Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios, Wheelhouse DNA, and the company’s UK division, while also working with Wheelhouse partners Kimmelot, Butternut and Majordomo Media.

Reed has worked alongside Wheelhouse CEO Montgomery for a large part of his career, including as a founding member of Spoke Studios in 2018 and, prior to that, worked with Montgomery at his former companies Leftfield Pictures and Sirens Media.

Reed’s credits at Wheelhouse include Netflix’s King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch and Designing Miami, and HGTV’s upcoming home design show Divided By Design. He previously worked on the scripted series Army Wives for Lifetime.

“Gardner has always had unbridled passion for this space which he converts to series success by unearthing characters that cut through for buyers and viewers – and he does it all with integrity,” said Montgomery.
