Mediawan’s Moment: How A French Producer Became A Magnet For The Storytellers Behind ‘Adolescence’ & ‘Slow Horses’


Mediawan has partnered with the producers behind 'Slow Horses' and 'Adolescence.' Elisabeth d’Arvieu explains how it is attracting talent.

See-Saw’s joint CEOs Emile Sherman and Iain Canning says the current market “rewards companies with access to larger producer networks” and they felt an “immediate creative and cultural affinity” with Mediawan. He points to its bases in London and Australia, its film and TV slate, and its “treasure trove” of IP, which includes The NeverEnding Story, a franchise currently being readied for a big-screen revival. When asked for her elevator pitch to potential new partners, d’Arvieu launches into a 10-minute monologue in which she espouses “complete independence,” finance for IP buys, a sales arm that can bridge funding gaps, and direct access to Mediawan’s leadership team.
