Before joining A+E Studios, Jamieson was Senior Vice President, Drama Programming, at A&E Network. There, she oversaw the network’s West Coast team responsible for the development and production of all original scripted drama series, as well as limited series, movies, and miniseries. Among the series Jamieson supervised is the development of A&E’s hit series “Bates Motel,” starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, from executive producers Carlton Cuse (“Lost”) and Kerry Ehrin (“Friday Night Lights”). “Bates Motel” premiered in March 2013 and earned Vera Farmiga an Emmy® Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She also oversaw “The Returned,” based on the French series “Les Revenants,” from executive producers Carlton Cuse and Raelle Tucker (“True Blood”). 

When Jamieson first joined A&E in 2006, she spearheaded the network’s first original scripted series development slate in more than six years, which included “The Cleaner,” starring Benjamin Bratt, and “The Beast,” with Patrick Swayze. In July 2010, she launched “The Glades,” which ran for four seasons, and in 2011, she premiered “Breakout Kings,” from the creators of “Prison Break." Her next series, “Longmire,” became 2012’s number-one new show in Total Viewers on all of cable.
