Karen Bailey, the Starz exec responsible for bringing “Outlander” to the network, is exiting the company at the end of the month.

Bailey’s departure as executive vice president of original programming comes as Starz is re-aligning its originals team, led by Kathryn Busby, around an owned-IP strategy and broadening offerings. Starz has been continuously reviewing its priorities since completing its separation from Lionsgate in May 2025.
