Pearlena Igbokwe New Drama Head at NBC

Just one day after Laura Lancaster was removed from her VP position, NBC has hired Pearlena Igbokwe as their new executive vice president of drama.

Igbokwe spent 20 years at Showtime and developed the pilots for Dexter and the new series Masters of Sex, starring Michael Sheen. In addition, she’s credited for Nurse Jackie, The Big C and Barbershop. She will be reunited with her old boss Bob Greenblatt, who also jumped ship from Showtime to NBC.
