Aaron Berman is new Head of Amazon Kids Original Series

Aaron Berman has taken over as Head of Amazon Kids Original Series. His predecessor Veronica Pickett left the company at the beginning of the year to take up a new position at Nickelodeon.

Berman has been with the company since 2018 and has overseen various areas of responsibility. These included managing the first line of original series and podcasts for IMDb . As part of his new role, Berman will oversee the development and production of animated, cartoon and live-action series for the children's streaming platform, working closely with Executive Creative Director Josh Mandel.

Berman's promotion comes at a time when Amazon is announcing more than 700 layoffs across its Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios teams.
