Content Television In Artists Studio Deal

Content Television has concluded a first-look agreement with UK production powerhouse Artists Studio, which will see the distributor and producer collaborating on a roster of new titles for the international market.
The deal will grant Content Television a first-look on acquiring international rights to all Artists Studio productions developed independently of any third party commissions. 
It follows Content Television’s successful global launch of a number of Artists Studio productions, including psychological drama The Fall starring Gillian Anderson and the crime thriller franchise Thorne starring David Morrissey and produced by Jolyon Symonds and Greg Dummett.
Led by Gub Neal, Justin Thomson-Glover and Patrick Irwin and based in South Wales, Artists Studio works with scriptwriters and authors through partnerships to give creators more control of their work.
Gub Neal, Founder at Artists Studio said: "It's a positive and exciting move for us to be formalising our relationship with Content in this way. After the hugely productive experience of working with the Content Television team on The Fall for the BBC, and also the Thorne films for Sky it will be immensely rewarding to cement our partnership further on a slew of new titles.
"Working hand in glove with a dedicated and bespoke distributor like Content, perfectly  matches Artists Studio’s mantra of putting the key creatives at the heart of the process, and dealing with the challenges of successful commercial exploitation in a highly personal and talent friendly way."  
Greg Phillips, President, Content Television added: "We have always admired Artists Studio’s approach to content development, which keeps the creators and their original vision at the heart of the production process.  It is a highly effective model which has seen a wealth of strong drama produced in recent years and we’re looking forward to working with Gub and his colleagues and all the talent they assemble as we introduce more of their titles to our international clients."
