BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial production-distribution arm, on Monday announced that it has moved to full ownership of Sid Gentle Films Ltd, the production company behind BBC AMERICA’s multi-awarded scripted original Killing Eve.
Founded in 2013 by Sally Woodward Gentle, with Lee Morris and Henrietta Colvin, Sid Gentle Films has earned industry-wide recognition for its innovative, original, and ambitious scripted series. BBC Studios has been a 51 percent investor in Sid Gentle Films since 2018.
Sid Gentle Films productions include BAFTA-nominated hit series ‘The Durrells’ for ITV, ‘SS-GB’ for BBC One, ‘Ragdoll’ for UKTV and AMC, ‘Neil Gaiman’s Likely Stories’ for Sky Arts, and four series of the critically acclaimed, BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe-awarded Killing Eve.
Sid Gentle Films is currently in post-production with Rain Dogs, written by Cash Carraway and starring Daisy May Cooper, for the BBC and HBO, and Extraordinary, a distinctive comedy for Disney+, written by Emma Moran.
The move to full ownership speaks to BBC Studios’ ambition to grow its portfolio of the UK’s most creative scripted labels, the company said in a statement.
