ITV Studios Acquires Majority Stake in Moonage Pictures

ITV Studios has acquired a majority stake in Moonage Pictures, known for its productions like The Gentlemen and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which have become global hits. Established in 2018 by Will Gould, Matthew Read, and Frith Tiplady, Moonage will now be part of ITV Studios' portfolio, with BBC Studios exiting its stake while continuing to distribute returning series. The acquisition allows ITV to manage international distribution for new Moonage projects. Managing Director Julian Bellamy praised the team for their impressive track record in creating premium dramas. Moonage is currently developing second seasons for its popular shows, further expanding its influence in the television landscape. This merger reflects ITV's strategy to enhance its scripted content offerings by integrating successful independent production companies.
