Apple TV+ exec Jay Hunt has been confirmed as the next chair of the British Film Institute (BFI). Hunt, who has commissioned the likes of Slow Horses, Bad Sisters, and Tiny World at the streamer, joins the BFI for a term of four years commencing 16 February 2024 at the appointment of the UK’s Culture, Media & Sport (CMS) department.

The role takes around two part-time days of work per month and, like former BFI chair Tim Richards, CEO of Vue, Hunt could continue working for Apple.

Hunt – who is the only UK TV commissioner to have run three channels (BBC One, Channel 4, Channel 5) – has been overseeing Apple TV+’s commissioning in Europe for nearly six years.

After a slow start, she has nurtured a string of hits including the likes of Gary Oldman-starrer Slow Horses and Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters.
