The scheduled Fremantle keynote at Series Mania Forum, set for Wednesday, has been postponed "due to a very serious personal matter that has arisen over the weekend within Jennifer Mullin’s family," Fremantle said in a statement.

Ben Crompton is joining Fremantle this month to become its new global head of entertainment, reporting to CEO Jennifer Mullin.

Andrew Llinares is exiting his post as director of global entertainment at Fremantle this spring.
