Scripted

Endemol Studios, Endemol USA’s scripted tv studio operation, was launched in August 2011 to develop and produce US scripted TV programming for global exploitation across all platforms.Endemol Studios focuses primarily on primetime U.S. cable drama productions based on original projects developed internally, as well as scripted formats adapted from Endemol’s international portfolio; and is also ready to partner with US networks and producers on projects already developed, coming on board in a studio capacity.

Endemol Studios is resourced to finance the development of projects; deficit-finance the production of pilots and series; and to oversee all related activities. The launch of Endemol Studios capitalizes on Endemol’s successes in US scripted television to date, including AMC’s series order of the Endemol USA-developed series Hell on Wheels, premiering November 6; as well as the rights acquisition of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland, Happily Divorced and The Exes, TNT’s Leverage, The Hub’s The Haunting Hour in the U.S. and Showcase’s Endgame in Canada.

Endemol Studios benefits from Endemol Group’s creative and production presence in key markets (including the UK and Australia) as well as leveraging the company’s global distribution capabilities and infrastructure. Endemol Worldwide Distribution will monetize the TV and home video rights to the studio’s productions, with Endemol Worldwide Brands managing all ancillary rights.
