Kyber joins Bans after two decades at 20th Century Fox TV, most recently as VP of Drama Development, a position she held since March 2016. During her tenure, she helped to develop a broad range of series, including Soundtrack for Netflix, Dopesick for Hulu and NeXt, Filthy Rich and Proven Innocent for Fox; as well as Triage, recently ordered to pilot by ABC. Before segueing to drama department, Kyber had been 20th TV’s head of research for many years, overseeing the studio’s primary and secondary research efforts, from providing ratings analysis and tracking series awareness, to leading focus group testing of both new and returning shows.
