It has been said that we are living in the Golden Age of Television, due in no small part to the explosion of streaming media providers over the past decade. Yet as media outlets multiply, executives have an even greater need to combine business sense with a knack for storytelling. Morgan Wandell ’93, head of international content development for Apple TV+, exemplifies this particular nexus of business and the arts. With a long career in television at Amazon and ABC before his current post at Apple, Wandell has developed a host of acclaimed television series, including Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, in addition to the just-released series Masters of the Air and The New Look, both period dramas from the WWII era. In conversation with Michael Yu ’24, Wandell will discuss his path from economics major and Ath Fellow to studio executive, highlight his most recent work, and provide insights into the future of streaming TV.
