Longtime entertainment lawyer Cheryl Rodman has been cast as chief legal officer at newly announced Spyglass Media Group.

She joins the Los Angeles-based company from Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., where she had served as executive vice president and deputy general counsel since 2012. The move is a return to familiar territory, however, as Rodman previously served as general counsel and executive vice president at Spyglass Entertainment, the production, finance and distribution company that Spyglass Media Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber co-founded.
