Even with the challenges of 2023’s Hollywood strikes, Dungey’s group launched multiple new hit series, including “The Golden Bachelor,” “Shrinking” and “Night Court.” A sign of success? All have been renewed for sophomore seasons. Under her leadership, WBTVG received 41 Primetime Emmy nominations. Dungey has plenty on tap for 2024-25, including Max political drama series “The Girls on the Bus” and DC Studios drama “The Penguin,” with Colin Farrell starring in the origin story of the renowned Gotham gangster. And she’ll continue to serve on the UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television’s executive board.
