"This strategic move underscores BBC Studios' commitment to investing in world-class storytelling and leveraging its deep creative talent leadership pool. By drawing from within its own ranks, BBC Studios ensures Lookout Point's momentum not only continues but accelerates under Howell's leadership." As co-founder and co-CEO of House Productions, along with Tessa Ross, Howell has delivered a slate of what the company described as "distinctive, award-winning and critically acclaimed projects." She will take her own projects from the House slate and integrate them with Lookout Point's production schedule, "creating a super-charged drama label," BBC Studios said. "Her proven success in navigating the demands of both domestic and international markets positions Lookout Point perfectly for continued commercial and critical success." Ross will continue as the sole CEO of House, founded in 2016. The banner has been behind the likes of The Iron Claw, Bird, and 2024's Oscar and BAFTA-winning film Conclave, as well as such series as Sherwood, Brexit: The Uncivil War, The Good Mothers, Life After Life, and the upcoming Mint. BBC Studios added House Productions to its label roster in 2021. Lookout Point's hit programming has included Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack, A Suitable Boy, and the upcoming Pride and Prejudice for Netflix. Louise Mutter will continue as managing director of Lookout Point, working with Howell. Zai Bennett, CEO and chief creative Officer of BBC Studios Productions, said: "Juliette's appointment reflects not just the creative strength of the shows we make, but the people who make them. By placing one of our most dynamic leaders into this role, we're ensuring Lookout Point remains fearless and creatively charged for the future. I'm also delighted that Tessa will continue to lead House Productions as she's a true force in an intensely competitive scripted market." Said Howell: "I'm thrilled to be bringing my exciting slate of projects from House to join Lookout Point's impressive production slate. I can't wait to collaborate with the brilliant team shaping the next generation of hits and to continue championing the bold, distinctive storytelling that has always excited me. Lookout Point has a remarkable legacy and an appetite for ideas that resonate with audiences." And Ross said: "I'm very proud of the work that Juliette, the team and I have done together over these last 10 years at House. I've no doubt she'll be a big success at Lookout Point and wish her great good luck and happiness."
