Makers of Peaky Blinders ‘in advanced talks’ to merge with The Traitors producer

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Banijay Group, the world's largest independent television production group headquartered in Paris, is reportedly in advanced talks to merge with All3Media, a UK-based production company owned by RedBird IMI. If completed, the merger would create a European TV production powerhouse, combining Banijay hits like "Survivor" and "Peaky Blinders" with All3Media staples such as "Call the Midwife" and "The Traitors". Reuters reports that All3Media would inject funds into the merged entity due to its smaller size. Banijay, founded in 2008, has grown through mergers and acquisitions, including the 2019 purchase of Endemol Shine Group. All3Media has 50 labels and has produced shows such as "Fleabag" and "Squid Game: the Challenge".
