‘Lupin’ & ‘Hijack’ Creator George Kay Forms Observatory Pictures With All3Media & New Pictures

'Lupin' and 'Hijack' creator George Kay has set up Observatory Pictures in partnership with 'The Long Shadow' producer New Pictures and All3Media.

We understand Kay’s previous indie, Idiotlamp Productions, which he ran with director Jim Field-Smith, will remain operational, but only for existing IP such as Lupin, should it return for a fourth season. He has also written true crime TV dramas The Long Shadow and Litvinkenko, both for ITVX, plus BBC2’s Stag, and wrote opening season episodes for Killing Eve, The Hour and The Tunnel. “From Lupin and Criminal, Litvinenko to The Long Shadow and Hijack, George has written and co-created award-winning scripted series that have travelled the world,” said All3 CEO Turton.
