BBC Studios has announced the acquisition of STV, a multi-award-winning pan-Scandinavian production company.
The acquisition will expand the company’s footprint and presence in the region while building on the company’s existing production capabilities.
The acquisition of STV is in response to the market’s growing appetite and opportunity for BBC content.
STV’s team of experienced producers, based in Copenhagen with offices in both Norway and Sweden, is responsible for developing successful factual entertainment formats such as ‘Big Love’ and ‘Get Lost Honey’.
STV also serves as a local producer for critically acclaimed shows such as ‘Long Lost Family’, ‘Wheel of Fortune’, and ‘Bargain King’, as well as the long-running scripted series ‘The First Years’, which airs in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
BBC Studios and STV have a long history of collaboration, having collaborated on original IPs such as ‘Denmark Saves the Planet’ for TV2 and the ongoing development of a local version of ‘The Office’.
STV’s three existing bases will be rebranded as BBC Studios Nordic Productions, with Daniel Svarts reporting to Jan Salling, Head of BBC Studios Nordic.
