John Landgraf

Known for coining the phrase “Peak TV,” Landgraf—who in the past year added National Geographic and the Onyx Collective to his purview—led the FX brand to another banner year with critical and commercial hits like “The Bear,” “Welcome to Wrexham” and the final seasons of “Reservation Dogs” and “Archer.” His ability to identify content that resonates with traditional viewers, streamers and international audiences alike is behind FX’s success with productions like “FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans,” “Shōgun” and the upcoming “Clipped.”
