Lionsgate and Bell Media Announce Original Scripted Series in Collaboration With Point Grey Pictures

Bell Media has made a commitment to Point Grey Pictures to develop and produce an original scripted television series from Point Grey and Lionsgate. The agreement was made through Lionsgate’s first-look television deal with Point Grey. As a company with roots in Canada, Point Grey will enhance its presence in the country through this agreement by producing its first scripted show for the Canadian market.

This comes as Point Grey and Lionsgate’s half-hour comedy The Studio is set to premiere on Apple TV+ in March. Point Grey is also behind TV and film projects including The Boys, Sausage Party, Good Boys, Neighbors, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise installment Mutant Mayhem, and many others.

“Seth, Evan, and James have a remarkable ability to captivate audiences with their subversive humour and unique storytelling,” said Sean Cohan, President, Bell Media. “This collaboration deepens our partnership with Lionsgate and gives us the opportunity to work with a true creative powerhouse, Point Grey Pictures, on Canadian content that will resonate with audiences worldwide.”

“Canada is the greatest country on Earth and deserves the greatest content on Earth. To honour the country from coast to glorious coast and every square kilometre in between, we promise to work diligently with our partners at Lionsgate and Bell Media to ensure our new deal results in creatively exciting and financially lucrative work that flows forth from our alliance like syrup from a well-tapped maple tree,” said Rogen, Goldberg, and Weaver.

“Point Grey has always redefined the possibilities of premium scripted storytelling,” said Lionsgate Television Group Chair & Chief Creative Officer Kevin Beggs. “Their contributions will turbocharge our partnership with Bell Media and strengthen our ability to make great content for audiences in Canada and around the world.”

In addition to this deal, Lionsgate and Bell Media have a separate co-development agreement to produce comedy and drama television series for the global market.
