ViacomCBS Inc. is revamping the operations of its Paramount Pictures movie and television production unit as part of a broader shake-up of the management there that will give television veteran David Nevins a larger role, people familiar with the matter said.

Under the new structure, the movie and television arms will be run as separate entities, the people said. Nickelodeon chief Brian Robbins will oversee films while Nevins, a longtime ViacomCBS television executive, will add oversight of the Paramount television unit.
