\tHammonds\u2019 promotion arrives after a restructuring of Sony Pictures Television\u2019s nonfiction division following the departures of Holzman and Saidman<\/a>.

Cutler\u2019s shingle This Machine, the go-to celebrity bio specialist behind Martha<\/em> and Billie Eilish: The World\u2019s a Little Blurry<\/em>, and Mary Robertson\u2019s Maxine Productions<\/a>, which focuses on pop culture investigations like The Fall of Diddy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\tIn May, Sony Pictures Television acquired a majority stake in 32 Flavors, the production company behind reality heavyweights Vanderpump Rules<\/em> and The Valley<\/em>. \t<\/p>\n

\tHammonds previously managed operations of the nonfiction division in addition to other responsibilities in business growth and strategy both in the U.S. and internationally.

\tEarlier in her career, Hammonds worked at A&E as its vice president of development and programming with oversight of Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath<\/em> and Wahlburgers,<\/em> among other titles. She has won two Emmy awards and been nominated five times.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
