ITV Studios is changing how it does business in America.

He will still work on some projects, like the Formula 1 drama.
David George, who runs ITV America, will now be in charge of the combined company.
Another company, Tomorrow Studios, which ITV also works with, will continue to operate separately.
ITV Studios America is folding into ITV America.
