Entertainment 360 Announces Two Key Hires—Miro Terrell and Danielle Esparza—to Expand Its 360‑Degree Coverage of Hollywood

Los Angeles, Oct 2025 – In a move that underscores its ambition to become the go‑to source for all things entertainment, the fledgling media brand Entertainment 360—the newest venture to emerge from Deadline’s parent company—announced on Tuesday the appointment of two high‑profile talent‑industry veterans to its leadership team. The hires, Miro Terrell as Senior Vice President of Content and Danielle Esparza as Chief Editor, are expected to accelerate the network’s growth in a crowded digital‑media landscape.

1. A Brief Primer on Entertainment 360

Entertainment 360 positions itself as a “holistic, 360‑degree view of the entertainment industry.” Launched earlier this year, the brand focuses on in‑depth reporting that bridges traditional Hollywood coverage—film, television, and music—with the fast‑evolving worlds of streaming, esports, and virtual‑reality content. The site already hosts a mix of investigative pieces, trend analyses, and a suite of original podcasts, all aimed at keeping the next generation of media professionals and fandoms up‑to‑date.

According to a Deadline release, the venture is backed by a slate of seasoned investors from Hollywood and tech, and it is headquartered in the West Hollywood media district. “Entertainment 360 is the next logical step for Deadline, taking the depth of our reporting and expanding it across every platform that feeds the modern consumer,” said the brand’s founder and CEO, Lindsay O’Neil, in an interview with Variety.

2. Miro Terrell: The Content Architect

Miro Terrell joins Entertainment 360 from Film Independent, where he served as Vice President of Content for the past three years. A prolific producer of award‑winning shorts and documentaries, Terrell’s work has appeared at the Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca, and the Toronto International Film Festival. He is also credited with the launch of Film Independent’s “Indie Spotlight” podcast series, which attracted a national audience of over 250,000 downloads in its first season.

In his new role as Senior Vice President of Content, Terrell will be responsible for curating the brand’s editorial strategy, developing original series, and overseeing the launch of a new weekly podcast that promises to feature roundtable discussions with writers, directors, and technologists. “I’m excited to bring my experience from the independent circuit to a platform that has the ambition to cover everything from the big studio deals to the next viral micro‑film,” Terrell told Deadline. “Entertainment 360’s mission to provide a 360‑degree perspective aligns perfectly with my own passion for stories that bridge the gap between art and commerce.”

Terrell’s hire comes at a time when the industry is grappling with the “content overload” dilemma. As streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max continue to release slate after slate of original programming, a platform that can contextualize these releases within broader industry trends is increasingly valuable.

3. Danielle Esparza: The Editorial Engine

Danielle Esparza is a veteran journalist who has spent the past decade covering pop culture and entertainment for Vulture and The Hollywood Reporter. Esparza’s investigative series on streaming rights disputes and her profile pieces on indie filmmakers have earned her multiple awards, including a 2023 Peabody for “Behind the Scenes: The Rise of Streaming Rights.”

As Chief Editor, Esparza will lead the Editorial Department and will be charged with overseeing all written and audio content, ensuring the brand maintains its reputation for hard‑hitting, fact‑based journalism. “Entertainment 360’s emphasis on depth and nuance is something that resonates with me,” Esparza said. “I’m thrilled to bring my editorial experience to a brand that’s poised to become the definitive source for entertainment news across platforms.”

The appointment follows a recent trend in which media houses are placing experienced journalists at the helm of digital-only brands. Esparza’s tenure will likely help Entertainment 360 navigate the increasingly competitive arena of entertainment journalism, where credibility and speed often collide.

4. Why Two Hires Make Sense

Both Terrell and Esparza come from backgrounds that complement each other. Terrell’s strengths in production and content development will dovetail with Esparza’s editorial oversight to create a seamless pipeline from idea generation to final delivery. “We’re building a full‑stack operation that covers everything from the seed of an idea to its eventual consumption,” O’Neil said. “Having a production savant and an editorial powerhouse on board means we can push content faster, smarter, and with the depth our audience demands.”

Entertainment 360’s first 90 days already show a roadmap that includes:

• Launch of a new “Insider 360” podcast series featuring weekly conversations with top studio executives, streaming strategists, and emerging creators.
• A quarterly “Industry Pulse” report that aggregates data on streaming viewership, box‑office trends, and award‑season momentum.
• A partnership with the Hollywood Writers’ Guild to offer a series of “Script Lab” workshops for aspiring screenwriters.

Both hires will also play a critical role in securing brand sponsorships and advertising deals, with Terrell’s experience in independent film festivals giving him a network of contacts that can translate into valuable sponsorship opportunities.

5. Looking Ahead

With Terrell and Esparza on board, Entertainment 360 appears poised to challenge established players in the entertainment‑news space. While the brand’s origins are rooted in Deadline’s reputation for industry‑inside scoops, the new leadership signals an intent to evolve beyond traditional reporting. “We’re not just reporting what’s happening; we’re trying to help our audience understand the why and the how,” O’Neil concluded.

The move also reflects a broader industry shift toward “content ecosystems,” where a single brand offers a suite of related products—articles, podcasts, video series, and data analytics—to capture audiences at every touchpoint. If Entertainment 360 can successfully integrate Terrell’s production savvy with Esparza’s editorial rigor, the brand could well become the next cornerstone of digital entertainment journalism.
