Warner Bros Television Division

Warner Bros. International Television Production (WBITVP) is the global television production arm of Warner Bros. Television Group.

The division was formed in 2009 to produce original programming or local adaptations of Warner Bros. formats in non-U.S. territories.[1][2]

The company has also acquired numerous production companies including Shed Media in the United Kingdom and BlazHoffski Holding B.V. (including Dahl TV and BlazHoffski Levy Productions) in the Netherlands and Belgium.[3] In 2014, the company acquired Netherlands-based Eyeworks and its global subsidiaries outside North America in a US$270 million deal, giving Warner Bros. businesses in 15 new territories.[4]

## History

[edit]

In August 2010, Warner Bros. International Television Production entered the British television production activities by taking a 55% majority stake in British independent television production and distribution company Shed Media Group alongside its production companies (namely Ricochet, Wall to Wall Media and Twenty Twenty Television) to expand Warner Bros.' international production business, giving Warner Bros. their own British television production subsidiary.[5]

In late-September 2011, Warner Bros. International Television Production announced that they've taken a majority stake in Belgium/Netherlands-based production company BlazHoffski alongside the latter's Dutch production subsidiary Dahl TV (which they brought back in 2010) as part of Warner Bros.' strategy to further expand its international television production operations and boost its profile as a producer of local scripted and non-scripted content with Warner Bros. gaining control and taken over distribution of BlazHoffski's content formats.[6][7]

In January 2014, Warner Bros. International Television Production announced that they were in exclusive negotiations to acquire Dutch international production group Eyeworks in order to expand Warner Bros. International Television Production's global production activities.[8][9] A month later on February 11 of that same year, Warner Bros. International Television Production announced that they had made an agreement to purchase Dutch international production group Eyeworks and their businesses outside of the United States to expand Warner Bros.' international television production operations overseas. The deal could also bring Warner Bros. International Television Productions to other countries and would launch local operations in those countries. The deal will exclude Eyeworks' American division Eyeworks USA which will become independent along with founder and CEO of Eyeworks Reinout Oerlemans will step down after the purchase.[10][11][12][13] Four months later in June of that same year, Warner Bros. International Television Production and their parent company Warner Bros. Television Group had announced that they've completed their acquisition of Dutch international production group Eyeworks and its international operations outside the US expanding Warner Bros. International Television Production's operations and their TV production units into 13 additional countries with Warner Bros. taking over Eyeworks' international distribution activities along with founder and CEO Reinout Oerlemans exited Eyeworks. However it excluded Eyeworks' American division Eyeworks USA which had been split from its parent company Eyeworks and had turned into an independent production company with former founder and CEO of Eyeworks Reinout Oerlemans moved to the United States and taken over Eyeworks' independent American division.[14][15][16]

In February 2025, Warner Bros. International Television Production entered the Italian television production activities by opening an Italian production business based in Milan as their new territory with Warner Bros. ITVP Spain's Stefano Torrisi leading the new production division as their MD.[17]

## Warner Bros. International Television Distribution

It distributes Warner Bros., HBO, and Turner content to the international television marketplace (broadcast, pay cable, basic cable, satellite, pay-per-view, subscription video-on-demand, digital platforms, etc.).[18]
