“It’s an honor to build on the creative and commercial work we have produced at New Regency,” said Lehmann. “I’m so proud to look back on all we’ve been able to accomplish since I first joined in early 2017, and I look forward to continuing to work with Yariv and the rest of the excellent New Regency team, as well as our many creative and business partners, to keep making best in class films and television series.”
