She succeeds Mischa Hofmann, who is stepping down from his role as Managing Director on May 31, 2025 after 19 years.
Britta Meyermann has been responsible for highly-acclaimed and award-winning productions such as the Grimme Prize-nominated series THE NIGHT IN QUESTION, the thriller series THE SEED with Heino Ferch and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal in the main cast, which won the Golden Nymph Award for Best Creation and the Jury Special Prize, as well as the spy series SPY CITY, co-produced with Miramax Television and ZDF and starring Dominic Cooper and Leonie Benesch, which aired in the USA on AMC+ . Her current projects include the development of a major international co-production series with Degeto and the English-language series LEARNING TO FLY, which she is developing as a co-production between Odeon Fiction, the Swedish-French producer Patrick Nebout ("Midnight Sun", "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared", "Whiskey on the Rocks") and the Finnish broadcaster YLE.
Fred Kogel, CEO of LEONINE Studios and Managing Director of Odeon Fiction: "We would like to thank Mischa Hofmann for a large number of great and successful productions that have made TV history. We respect his wish to start a new chapter in his life and remain professionally and amicably connected to him.

Odeon Fiction Managing Director Britta Meyermann: "I am very excited to lead Odeon Fiction, which Mischa Hofmann has managed so successfully for so long, into the future with the best team anyone could wish for. We are proud of our popular and highly-rated formats such as MASUREN-KRIMI, EIN FALL FÜR ZWEI or the charming new edition of KANZLEI LIEBLING KREUZBERG as well as the numerous series and movies for broadcasters and streamers such as NEULAND, BOOM BOOM BRUNO or TENDER HEARTS. We will continue to build on this to create modern, entertaining, high-quality and relevant series and films for a broad audience."
Mischa Hofmann: "It has been a great, challenging and exciting journey with Odeon Fiction. I would like to thank the fabulous team I have had the pleasure of working with over many years and also Fred Kogel and Quirin Berg for their excellent cooperation and trust. I have decided to start a new chapter in my life after almost two decades at the helm of Odeon Fiction. I want to focus on my creative work again, concentrate on developing material with authors and directors and realize my own projects. With Britta Meyermann, we have a talented successor from our own ranks who, with her valuable expertise in the co-production business, has exactly what it takes to be successful in today's market."
