Plan B Europe appointed Maria Fleischer as executive producer and Charlie Silver as development producer, a move that expands the company's new London-based operations.

These appointments, the first major team additions since Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment established its European arm in September 2025, further Plan B Europe's mission to develop and produce film and television content across the UK and Europe. The two producers, with backgrounds in international studio production and independent drama, will identify and shepherd projects, leveraging resources from its parent company and European backer Mediawan.

What We Know So Far

  • Plan B Europe has confirmed two key appointments to its production team: Maria Fleischer as Executive Producer and Charlie Silver as Development Producer.
  • Fleischer joins the company from Sony Pictures Television International, according to a report from Deadline.
  • Silver previously spent eight years at House Productions, the company co-founded by former Film4 head Tessa Ross, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
  • The expansion occurs approximately seven months after Plan B Europe was launched under the leadership of Ed Macdonald, a producer on the acclaimed series Baby Reindeer.
  • According to multiple reports, the hires are intended to directly support the development and production of a new slate of projects originating from the U.K. and continental Europe.

Meet Plan B Europe's New Key Producers

Maria Fleischer and Charlie Silver bring Plan B Europe large-scale international production experience and specialized expertise in developing distinctive, authored content. Their hires enable the London office to navigate the complex European production landscape and build a competitive slate.

Maria Fleischer takes on the role of Executive Producer, joining from Sony Pictures Television International. Her background at a major U.S. studio's international arm suggests a deep understanding of packaging, financing, and producing content with global appeal. At Sony, producers are often involved in managing complex co-productions and adapting intellectual property for multiple territories, an experience that will be invaluable as Plan B Europe seeks to establish itself as a key player in the region. Her appointment signals an ambition to produce projects of significant scale and commercial potential.
