to be shown on a corporate website

[Maybo]

Is which was omitted before to be shown? If so, does which refer to a series of interviews?

I was recently in Peru leading a team producing a series of interviews with CEOs, artists and academics, to be shown on a corporate website requiring a very quick turnaround time. The interviews went really well, but due to the poor wifi we fell behind schedule getting them uploaded.

Here you have a noun phrase inside a noun phrase. Here is the longer noun phrase:

a team producing a series of interviews with CEOs, artists, and academics to be shown on a corporate website requiring a very quick turnaround time

The shorter noun phrase:

a series of interviews with CEOs, artists, and academics to be shown on a corporate website requiring a very quick turnaround time

The word "them" refers to the interviews.

(You could argue that "which was" was omitted before "to be shown".)

Can I remove the comma before to be shown?

Yes, you understand correctly.

Can I remove the comma before to be shown?

No, don't do that. Why would you want to do that?

 

[Maybo]

No, don't do that. Why would you want to do that?

It's because the comma isn't needed in the noun phrase so I wonder if it's also not needed in the original sentence.

 

[jutfrank]

The comma does an excellent job of breaking up the sentence to make it easier to digest.

Many BrE speakers would use which were rather than which was in your expanded version..
