HBO said Wednesday afternoon that it had selected Sue Naegle, a Hollywood talent agent, as the president of its entertainment division, and charged her with helping the cable channel finds its next “Sopranos” and “Sex and the City.”
Ms. Naegle, 38, is co-head of the television department at United Talent Agency in Los Angeles. She succeeds one of the channel’s longest-serving executives, Carolyn Strauss, who is being given a new production deal inside the company. As president of HBO Entertainment, Ms. Naegle will oversee all series and specials.
Among the deals Ms. Naegle has helped make in recent years were for HBO’s “Six Feet Under,” “Men in Trees” on ABC, and the forthcoming series “Swingtown” on CBS and “True Blood,” from the creator of “Six Feet Under,” on HBO.
