Banijay, Production Giant Behind ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘Survivor,’ Eyeing Bid for ITV or ITV Studios (Report)
Industry talk about a possible takeover bid for U.K. TV giant ITV or its production arm ITV Studios is showing no signs of slowing down.
On Monday, the latest spotlight was on French production powerhouse Banijay Group, which is in very early-stage talks about a potential acquisition offer for either the whole company or its studio unit, according to a report in the Financial Times.
The report cited two people familiar with the situation. Representatives for ITV and Banijay declined to comment when contacted by The Hollywood Reporter.
Merging Banijay and ITV, or ITV Studios, would bring together two of Europe’s largest TV production companies. ITV Studios hit franchises include the likes of Love Island, Disney+ series Rivals, The Voice, and Netflix hit Fool Me Once. Meanwhile, Banijay produces the likes of Big Brother, MasterChef, Survivor, Peaky Blinders, and Black Mirror.
