President / CEO
Nevins’ reputation for creating quality television began before he joined Showtime — dating back to his tenure first as SVP of primetime series at NBC, then as a programming executive at Fox Broadcasting Company and later as president of Imagine Television. He joined Showtime in 2010 and was named CEO in 2016. The first series developed on his watch at Showtime, “Homeland,” was the network’s first show to win an Emmy for best drama. Critical acclaim built with “Ray Donovan,” “Masters of Sex,” “Penny Dreadful,” “The Affair” and “Billions.” Last year, Nevins brought David Lynch back to TV for the reincarnation of horror mystery “Twin Peaks,” and this year facilitated Jim Carrey’s first series-regular role in more than two decades with “Kidding.”
