EXCLUSIVE: Veteran Imagine TV executive Robin Gurney, Senior EVP Development & Production, is leaving the company after a seven-year tenure. At the 20th Century Fox TV-based company, Gurney developed and produced such shows as Friday Night Lights, Shark, Lie To Me, Friends With Benefits and The Playboy Club. “I am very proud of the work I have a accomplished while at Imagine and will truly miss this amazing company” said Gurney. “Brian Grazer and Ron Howard are incredibly inspiring on so many levels and I am grateful for their continued support. That said, it is time to move on and I am excited to seek new professional challenges.”
In addition to Imagine principals Howard and Grazer, Gurney has worked at the company’s TV division with former Imagine TV president David Nevins and his successor, Francie Calfo. “Robin has been a tremendous asset to the company and a valued member of the Imagine family,” Grazer and Howard said in a statement. “While we are sad to see her leave we understand her desire to evolve and explore new avenues in the industry. We wish her the best in her new endeavors.” Gurney will remain in place to assist with the transition.

Terrific executive and a good person. I wish you good things, Robin.
Robin Gurney sounds like a super exec. Anyone know if she is leaving Hollywood or just changing storefronts?
In either case, best of luck to her in her future endeavors. Onward and upward…
Best of luck. Stay in touch.
An creative champion with talent and taste, and a real human being to boot. One of the best note-givers I’ve ever come across. Doesn’t play games. Leaves projects better than she found them.
Someone should snag her … quickly.
Ok, so I’m your sister-in-law and a bit biased, but I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. I know you are truly gifted in the entertainment world and I love bragging about you! Good luck with your future endeavors!
Sounds like Robin was pushed out. she was always fantastic to work with. I’ve done several shows with her…but…you don’t go running from a successful company without having a fall-back plan and neither of their statements alluded to some future endeavor. she was always a blast to work with, so I will follow this with zeal.
Robin is truly a class act, not many like her. Writers respect her and enjoy working for her and executives like her no bs. Above all – she’s smart and… a worker. One of the good ones around town.
We have not met – yet – but I’m hoping that will change. I wish you all the best in your new position. You carry a great reputation with you, Robin.
