Sasha Bühler becomes Head of German Originals at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios Germany on 1 December, US trade outlet Deadline reports. She succeeds Philip Pratt, who has joined Disney+ as Vice President, Original Production for Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Bühler was most recently Netflix's Director of Film for German-speaking Europe and left the streamer this year; her successor there is Jan Bennemann. At Netflix she was involved in 'All Quiet on the Western Front' as well as 'Blood Red Sky', 'Army of Thieves', 'Exterritorial' and 'Brick'.
