Former long-time MTV executive Lauren Dolgen is returning to Viacom as Svp and head of Unscripted Development and Production for Paramount Network.

Dolgen, who starts June 3, is coming off a year-long stint as head of BuzzFeed Studios. Based in Los Angeles, she will report to Keith Cox, President of Development and Production for Paramount Network and TV Land. She is taking over the responsibilities held by Chachi Senior who left the company in mid-January.

Dolgen, who created such unscripted mainstays as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant during her two decades at MTV, will lead the unscripted development team and oversee original productions.

While Paramount Network had been designated as Viacom’s leading scripted brand, Kent Alterman, who oversees the network, recently stressed the commitment to docu- and unscripted programming on the channel.

Lauren Dolgen, after spending a year heading up BuzzFeed Studios, is coming back to cable TV.

Paramount Network recruited Dolgen as senior VP, unscripted development and production. It’s a return to Viacom for the veteran TV producer, who in her nearly two decades at MTV created such franchises as “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant.”

Dolgen starts at Paramount Network on June 3. She will be based in L.A., reporting to Keith Cox, president of development and production for Paramount Network and TV Land.

Dolgen will lead unscripted development team and oversee original productions for Paramount Network, which Viacom converted from Spike TV last year. She’s tasked with expanding Paramount Network’s unscripted lineup, which includes Spike holdovers like “Bar Rescue,” “Ink Master” and “Lip Sync Battle.”

“We’re ecstatic to have Lauren on board at Paramount Network and welcome her back home to the Viacom family,” Cox said in announcing her hire.

Another veteran MTV Networks executive is leaving the company, which has been undergoing a string of executive changes. Lauren Dolgen, who had been at MTV for 19 years, is stepping down as Head of Reality Programming and EVP of Series Development. Her position won’t be replaced.

Dolgen was named to the new post in March 2015 in one of multiple executive reshufflings over the past few years at MTV, which also underwent a company-wide round of layoffs. She previously was Head of West Coast Reality and EVP of Series Development. Dolgen’s scripted counterpart, Mina Lefevre, is staying on.

Dolgen’s departure comes three months after Michael Klein joined MTV as EVP Original Content in March. When the network’s previous head of programming Susanne Daniels exited her post in July 2015, the plan was to not fill the position, with Lefevre and Dolgen, named co-heads of programming, reporting to then-mtv president Stephen Friedman.
