Paramount+ Names Damla Dogan Head of Unscripted, Overseeing Reality Programming

Paramount+ has appointed Damla Dogan as its new head of unscripted, a role in which she will oversee the streamer's reality programming. The move was confirmed exclusively and comes amid a series of executive changes under parent company Skydance. Dogan will report to Casey Bloys, Co-Chair and Chief Content Officer at Skydance DTC, who oversees content for the direct-to-consumer division. Her appointment signals a strategic focus on expanding Paramount+'s unscripted slate as the platform competes in a crowded streaming market. Reality and unscripted content remain key drivers of subscriber engagement and retention, making this leadership role critical for the service's growth. Dogan brings experience from prior roles in the industry, and her arrival is expected to shape the direction of future reality series and specials. With competition intensifying among streaming giants, Paramount+ is betting on strong unscripted leadership to bolster its original content pipeline and attract a broader audience.
