He departed DWTS at the end of the 18th season to exec produce the Fox reality series Utopia. Altthough the show was short-lived, he signed an overall with the network in 2015.

Green would replace executive producer Andrew Llinares, who parted ways with DWTS before a 31st season of the show was ordered. In April, DWTS received a two-year pickup — for Seasons 31 and 32 — to debut exclusively on Disney+ this fall in the U.S. and Canada. It will be the first live series to debut on the service.

He earned nine Emmy nominations during his stint on Dancing with the Stars. Previously, he was an executive at BBC in London, where he developed and produced new entertainment formats.
