New executive producer Chris Clenshaw will take over in January 2022. <\/p>
EastEnders has named its brand new executive producer, Chris Clenshaw, who will take over the reins of BBC One\u2019s flagship soap series from Jon Sen.<\/p>\n
Clenshaw, who will take up the position in January 2022, previously worked on EastEnders<\/a> for more than four years, and was part of the story team responsible for writing Stacey Slater\u2019s postpartum psychosis.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be returning to Walford to work with the hugely talented team on a British institution that, for more than three decades, has given us some of the most memorable moments in popular culture,\u201d Clenshaw commented. \u201cBecoming the custodian of one of Britain\u2019s greatest dramas is a huge honour.\u201d<\/p>\n Jon Sen, who has overseen EastEnders for the past three years, said the \u201ctime has come\u201d for him to bid farewell to Walford, describing the role as an \u201chonour of a lifetime\u201d.<\/p>\n Sen will now be moving over to the BAFTA-winning, Cardiff-produced BBC medical series Casualty, which he will begin work on this December.<\/p> Piers Wenger, Director of Drama for the BBC, said: \u201cWe are thrilled that Chris is returning to Elstree to executive produce EastEnders. Chris will be a fantastic creative leader for the series \u2013 his understanding of what makes EastEnders unique and his instinct for a great soap story make him a natural and outstanding choice for the role.<\/p>\n \u201cI would like to take this opportunity to thank Jon Sen for all of his brilliant work on the series. Next year will be an exciting one for EastEnders. I can\u2019t wait to see Chris\u2019 vision for the show make its mark on Albert Square.\u201d<\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders\u00a0<\/a>page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.
