Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing announced on Tuesday that he would focus full-time on creative projects for the company, stepping down from his role as co-chief executive officer of the company.
Boreing, who founded the company in 2015 alongside Ben Shapiro and Caleb Robinson, said that he is turning his “full attention to creative and entertainment ventures for the company.” Robinson will step in as full-time CEO and assume the day-to-day operations of the company.
“When Ben, Caleb, and I founded The Daily Wire in 2015, we set out to build an institution. I’m enormously proud of our team, of our many battles, and of the successes we’ve achieved together over the last decade. And we’re just getting started,” Boreing said. “To get us to the heights we know we can achieve, we have brought in a world-class executive team that I am confident will thrive in taking us to the next level under Caleb’s ongoing leadership while I turn my full attention to creative and entertainment ventures for the company.”
The announcement comes amid Boreing’s work on The Pendragon Cycle, for which he is writer, director, and executive producer. In 2023, Boreing took a leave of absence from the day-to-day operations of The Daily Wire to film the high fantasy series in Hungary and Italy.
Boreing spent decades in Hollywood as a filmmaker, racking up a number of writing and producing credits on several feature films before co-founding The Daily Wire. In 2021, Boreing launched The Daily Wire into entertainment with the acquisition of Run, Hide, Fight, a feature-length thriller. Since then, The Daily Wire has released six films on its platform, including Lady Ballers, which Boreing directed, and co-wrote, and starred in.
Boreing also served as the executive producer of What is a Woman? And Am I Racist?, the hit comedy films starring Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.
Shapiro, who founded the company with Boreing, praised his longtime partner’s “indispensable” leadership and creative talent.
“Jeremy’s hard work and brilliant leadership have been indispensable to the growth of this company from an idea to the largest conservative digital media company in the country,” said Shapiro. “Jeremy is a tremendous talent and we’re thrilled to get even more of his creative focus in the business as we head into this next phase of expansion. We can’t wait to see what he does next.”
Robinson, the third member of The Daily Wire’s founding group, also said that the “best is yet to come” from Boreing.
“We couldn’t be more excited for this next phase of The Daily Wire’s growth and for Jeremy as he pursues the completion of Pendragon and then moves on to work with us on further important creative endeavors we have in the works,” said Robinson. “Jeremy‘s creative contributions over the last decade have helped shape the face of podcasting and digital media. With Pendragon on the horizon, the best is yet to come.”
Boreing will also stay on in an advisory role and continue as the host of Backstage, the company’s monthly show featuring Shapiro, Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan.
“I will greatly miss the day in and day out of fighting the left and building the future with all of you, but I’m confident we will continue to thrive under Caleb’s ongoing leadership,” Boreing said in an email to The Daily Wire’s staff on Tuesday.
