The deal was brokered by Sumi Connock, BBC Studios creative director, and Daniel Thomas, head of commercial and acquisitions. Jolly Octopus has also signed an agreement with Matisse, Nick Curwin and Scarlett Ewens’s UK-based indie advisory service, which has a minority stake in the new venture and will be providing strategic and commercial support.
