Former Jupiter Entertainment president Allison Wallach has been named EVP, Head of Fox Alternative Entertainment, Fox Entertainment’s in-house unscripted studio. In her new role, Wallach will be responsible for identifying, developing and producing unscripted programming both for the Fox network and third-party platforms and shepherd a portfolio expansion in the unscripted arena, both at home and abroad. Wallach will be based in Los Angeles and will report to Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, Fox Entertainment.

Fox Entertainment formed FAE last year when production of TV’s No. 1 series, The Masked Singer was brought in-house. Growing the unscripted studio has been a priority for Fox Entertainment, leading to the appointment of a dedicated head in Wallach. In addition to The Masked Singer, FAE will produce upcoming spinoff The Masked Dancer and co-produce Ultimate Tag. The division will also produce its adaptation of Korean mystery music gameshow I Can See Your Voice, which is currently in development.
