EXCLUSIVE: Plimsoll Productions, the company behind series such as Apple’s Tiny World and Disney+’s James Cameron-executive produced and Benedict Cumberbatch-narrated Super/Natural, has hired National Geographic’s Alan Eyres to run its U.S.
arm. Eyres spent the last ten years as SVP of Unscripted Production and Development for the National Geographic Global Channels and was instrumental in launching the Nat Geo tile on Disney+.
He becomes head of Plimsoll USA, reporting to founder and CEO Grant Mansfield. It marks the first major hire after British broadcaster ITV acquired the company, best known for natural history programming, for $126M earlier this summer, and comes after Saul Goldberg, who previously headed up U.S.
operations at the company left to join CAA as a UK-based agent. Eyres has worked with Plimsoll on a number of series and docs including serving as network programming executive for Hostile Planet, Earth Live and Yellowstone Live as well as The Ascent with Alex Honnold, which is coming up for Nat Geo/Disney+.
