Lee Sung Jin, creator of Netflix's Beef, has launched production company Lila Pictures and set two series in development at Netflix. One project is The Only Child, a limited series featuring Ali Wong.
Sung Jin hired Hyunji Ward as SVP of Film and Television at the new company. Ward previously worked at UTA's motion picture department and spent four years as a creative executive at Dakota Johnson's TeaTime Pictures, where she produced films including Splitsville, which premiered at Cannes last year, Christy Hall's Daddio, and Zoe Lister-Jones' series Slip.
The move comes six months after Sung Jin renewed his overall deal with Netflix.
