Los Angeles – Endemol announced yesterday the launch of Endemol Studios, an LA-based independent scripted TV studio operation, to be headed up by newly appointed CEO Philippe Maigret. Endemol Studios will develop and produce US scripted TV programming for global exploitation across all platforms. The operation is resourced to finance the development of projects, deficit-finance the production of pilots and series and oversee all related activities. The upcoming productions will be based on original projects developed internally, as well as scripted formats adapted from Endemol’s international portfolio. The studio will also partner with US networks and producers on projects already developed, coming on board in a studio capacity. The launch of Endemol Studios capitalizes on Endemol’s successes in US scripted television to date, including AMC’s recent series order of the Endemol USA-developed series Hell on Wheels; as well as the rights acquisition of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland and TNT’s Leverage, to name two.
