Led by Julie Pizzi, who pulls double duty heading fellow Banijay Americas label 51 Minds Entertainment, the unscripted powerhouse that many say invented modern reality via The Real World has been a mainstay on the Global 100 practically since the list’s inception, and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down halfway through 2026.

While still producing new seasons of MTV’s long-running competition series The Challenge as well as the Vanderpump Rules spinoff Vanderpump Villa (pictured) on Hulu and bringing back one of unscripted’s more colorful families for Lifetime’s The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, the Banijay Americas label is hard at work at Netflix on two untitled projects: an Alan Ritchson-led competition series and a true-crime docuseries on the conman John Meehan. It’s also taking its reality bonafides to Hulu for The Girls with executive producer Khloé Kardashian. NS
