Bill McGoldrick is making his return to USA Network, The Hollywood Reporter says.

McGoldrick will serve as senior VP of scripted programming, replacing Jackie de Crinis, who will continue to oversee management of original series and pilot production.

McGoldrick joined USA in 1998, eventually serving in scripted development positions, working on "Monk," "Psych" and "The 4400." He left the network in 2005 to join Spike TV as VP of original series.

"Bill is a great friend and a phenomenal creative executive," said Jeff Wachtel, president, USA original programming, to whom McGoldrick will report. "Bringing him back home to USA is something we’ve been trying to do ever since he left. It’s a move that we feel will make one of the best network development teams in the business even better."
