Mediawan completed the acquisition of Lagardère Studios.
Negotiations were first announced in June 2020, with a binding agreement signed with Groupe Lagardère in August. By integrating Lagardère Studios, Mediawan increases its geographical footprint in Europe with Skyhigh TV in the Netherlands, Aito Media in Finland, and Keewu in Africa. Lagardère Studios also bolsters Mediawan’s production capacity with strong brands in France and Spain and an umbrella of 25 production companies.
Pierre-Antoine Capton, chairman of the Board of Mediawan, stated, “We are particularly proud today to be able to count on the many talents which form Lagardère Studios, and explore with them the many development opportunities which are offered to us everywhere in Europe, in all genres: drama, documentary and unscripted.”
