Meghan Hooper White will oversee the division, which will mine the company's franchises to create 100 projects annually.
ViacomCBS' Entertainment and Youth Group is leaning into its shift away from cable brands and into content.
To that end, the unit on Tuesday announced the formal launch of a new original movies and limited series arm and the hiring of A+E Networks' Meghan Hooper White to run the division.
With the larger goal to mine ViacomCBS' deep vault of IP and familiar franchises, Hooper White will look to create 100 new projects across the company's vast portfolio. She will look to produce films with the likes of CBS, Channel 5 and CBS All Access, with the streamer soon to be rebranded and updated to better service all of the company's cable brands.
