In February 2023, programming for Disney Branded Television and Freeform was added to Erwich’s existing duties for ABC Entertainment, Disney Branded Television and Hulu Originals. No matter the genre, the platform or the niche, he knows what viewers want, from lauded comedy series like Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” and ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” to preschoolers’ beloved “Bluey.” Erwich’s foresight gave ABC’s fall season a strike-proof edge with “The Golden Bachelor,” which became appointment TV for millions of viewers.
