Amazon Canada Exec Beth Iley Joins ‘Law & Order Toronto’ Producer Lark

EXCLUSIVE: Beth Iley, an ex-senior development exec at Amazon Canada, is heading to Law & Order Toronto maker Lark Productions.

Iley takes on the newly-created VP, International Series Development post at the Vancouver-based outfit, which also makes the Toronto and Vancouver versions of The Real Housewives.

Based in Toronto, she is tasked with overseeing Lark’s international development and co-production strategy, reporting to President Erin Haskett and VP Scripted Series, Nicole Mendes. As part of Lark’s first-look distribution deal with Universal International Studios (UIS), which is a division of Universal Studio Group, Iley will also work closely with the studio’s scripted team to develop new projects. UIS has a minority stake in Lark.

At Amazon, Iley was responsible for a scripted slate that included Three Pines, starring Alfred Molina; The Lake, starring Julia Stiles and Jordan Gavaris; and upcoming The Sticky, for which she also served as EP for Amazon MGM Studios alongside Blumhouse Television. Past employers include New Metric Media and Boatrocker Media.

Haskett said: “With the domestic and global growth of Lark’s scripted slate, having Beth join is exciting and well-timed. Beth’s stellar reputation and elevated creative taste complements the Lark team’s bold, collaborative approach to producing television.”

Founded in 2010, Lark is currently in production on Season 2 of CBC’s Allegiance, which the network said was its most-watched new series of 2023-24, as well as Season 2 and 3 of Citytv’s Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent for Rogers and Universal Television.
