Lionsgate’s television roster includes the ground-breaking hit series Orange is the New Black, the fan favorite Nashville, multiple Emmy Award winner Mad Men, the hit drama The Royals, the Golden Globe-nominated dramedy Casual, the breakout success Greenleaf and the critically-acclaimed Dear White People. Before joining Lionsgate, Mr. Feltheimer spent nine years at Sony Pictures Entertainment as head of the Columbia TriStar Television Group, shepherding the launch of hit TV shows such as Mad About You, Party of Five and The King of Queens as well as leading the television group's evolution into an international powerhouse that launched nearly 30 branded channels around the world.
