deadline.com:

Ed Lammi, Sony Pictures Television’s EVP Production, will be departing at the end of December after a 36-year career at the studio.

SPT President Katherine Pope announced Lammi’s retirement in an internal memo. There is no word yet on his replacement. “Throughout Ed’s journey, which began at SPT in 1987 when he joined as vice president in charge of production of multi-camera videotaped series, his many contributions have been felt across the business,” Pope said in the email, which you can read in full below. “From multi-camera comedies to ground-breaking drama series, and now hit shows for nearly every major streaming platform, Ed has led the production of hundreds of shows, overcoming many challenges as our industry has evolved.” Lammi has served as EVP of Production at SPT since 1995, overseeing production for the studio’s slate of scripted comedies and dramas, animated, reality and non-scripted programming, made-for-TV movies, game shows and talk shows.

That has included such hits as Breaking Bad, The Wheel of Time, The Boys, Cobra Kai and Outlander. Lammi also is credited with creating a return-to-work blueprint for SPT to become one of the first studios to safely restart production during the pandemic in fall 2020.

Here is Pope’s memo: Team — I’m writing today with immense gratitude as we announce the retirement of longtime SPT and industry leader, Ed Lammi, after an extraordinary 36-year career at the studio.
