The company is restructuring its operational footprint to centralize leadership and operational support while keeping its individual production labels creatively independent.

Banijay’s primary media assets include reality and scripted television IP including “The Traitors,” “Big Brother,” “MasterChef” and “Survivor,” among others.

Additional assets include production house Turnkey Studio Services led by former All3Media executives Justin Medeiros and Jacob Cohen-Holmes.

Other Banijay content producers include Studio Lambert, creator of “The Circle” for Netflix and “Undercover Boss” on CBS. Other content includes “Homestead Rescue: Intervention” on Discovery and HBO Max, “Arizona Hot” for Netflix, and “Body in the Basement” for Discovery, ID and HBO.

“Both businesses were built on the same principle: to back exceptional producers and bold ideas,” said Samek in a media statement. “Bringing them together gives us greater scale and expanded capabilities in the U.S. market. Our goal is clear: to build enduring franchises that can travel the world and connect with audiences across platforms and experiences. We will remain entrepreneurial and disciplined, investing with clear intent and backing the storytellers and ideas that can create lasting value for the business.”
