Gardner and Tranter’s highly successful working relationship began when Tranter assigned Gardner to head up the revival of “Doctor Who.” Working with writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies, the series debuted in March 2005 to huge audience and critical acclaim. Gardner went on to oversee two “Who” spinoffs, “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures.”
“Julie is a remarkable talent, and I’ve had the privilege of working with her for the past six years,” Tranter said. “She brings an unprecedented insight into drama development and production and has a solid track record of forging strong relationships with the creative community.
On her arrival in L.A., Gardner will be working alongside development executive, Angie Stephenson and senior vp programming and production, Ian Moffitt, who also serves as exec producer on the U.S. pilot of “Absolutely Fabulous.”
