All3Media

All3Media began as Chrysalis Visual Entertainment before evolving into a sprawling British network of over forty production houses and distribution labels. Headquartered in London, the group stretched its reach across Europe, New Zealand, and the United States with subsidiaries like IDTV in the Netherlands, All3Media Deutschland, and South Pacific Pictures. This decentralized structure allowed them to produce everything from reality hits to scripted dramas without the heavy oversight typical of major studio systems.

Under the leadership of CEO Jane Turton, COO Sara Geater, and CFO Thomas Shearer, the company churned out approximately 4,000 hours of content annually. Their reputation rested on high-quality, award-winning programming that competed directly with giants like ITV Studios and Endemol Shine. While specific pre-merger revenue figures remained private, their market influence was undeniable, bolstered by a strong social media presence including a YouTube channel that amassed over 21 million views.

The landscape shifted dramatically in mid-2026 when French media giant Banijay Entertainment completed an $8 billion acquisition of All3Media. The deal, finalized on July 9, 2026, merged All3Media's creative output with Banijay's global distribution network, effectively ending the brand's existence as an independent entity. Patrick Holland now runs the combined Banijay UK operations, while Ben Samek oversees the merged US division. Integration efforts included workforce reductions at the All3Media International New York office in August 2026, marking the final transition of assets into the new corporate hierarchy. [edit]
