Susanne Daniels has resigned as YouTube’s global head of original content after six years, according to multiple media reports.There, Daniels developed “Cobra Kai,” which was a YouTube original before moving to Netflix after two seasons.
She also developed “On Becoming a God in Central Florida,” which moved to Showtime. The “Karate Kid” sequel series has been hugely successful since moving over to Netflix, where it is in development on a fifth season and earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Reps for YouTube did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on Daniels’ reported resignation.Daniels joined YouTube in 2015 as the Google-owned platform was launching a subscription tier — then known as YouTube Red — that would be filled with high-end scripted programming.
Along with “Cobra Kai” and “On Becoming a God in Central Florida,” Daniels shepherded “Step-Up” (which is now on Starz) and Doug Liman’s “Impulse.” YouTube scrapped its scripted originals plan and its subscription business after only three years and instead focused unscripted series for its existing free, ad-supported service.Daniels became the second female head of a broadcast network when she was named president of The WB earlier in her career.
