Present in Madrid a month ago to introduce Amazon’s new original productions in Spain, Georgia Brown, director of European Originals at Amazon Studios, had shared plans to hire local executives for the company’s scripted and unscripted divisions.
And now, present at the Edinburgh TV Festival, she revealed one of the positions has been filled.

Prol has a long track record in Spain, working in companies such as Boxfish TV and Warner Bros. International Television Production.
The search for a scripted content director in Spain is still ongoing, she revealed.
Along with the appointment of Oscar Prol, Georgia Brown announced other hires in Germany, France and Italy.
