Doyle joins the family-focused streamer from Channel 4, where he has served as deputy head of features and formats since September 2018. Before that, he was a commissioning editor at Channel 5 and head of development for BBC Features Formats and Daytime. In his new role, Doyle (pictured) will report to Liam Keelan, Disney’s VP of original content for Europe and Africa.

Disney+ has committed to content geared to entertain the entire family, and so far has been leaning into unscripted programming.

It’s also giving audiences a peek behind the House of Mouse curtain with a docuseries about Pixar’s shorts program and a 52-episode series that explores life at Disney.
