See-Saw Films Acquired by Mediawan as Euro Banner Takes Majority Stake in ‘Slow Horses’ Producer (EXCLUSIVE)


European powerhouse Mediawan has acquired a majority stake in prestige production company See-Saw Films, behind 'Slow Horses' and 'Heartstopper.'

The company will become a significant asset under Mediawan’s umbrella, having not just amassed industry-wide admiration as one of the most successful and best-known scripted labels working across both film and TV, but accolades including 5 Oscars, 13 Emmys, 5 Golden Globes and 15 BAFTAs. Last March, Variety broke the news that See-Saw was working on its biggest project to date, partnering with Michael Ende Productions to bring children’s fantasy classic “The Neverending Story” back to the big screen in a new film series. Recent in-house crossovers developed by Mediawan-owned banners include Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s adaptation of the bestselling novel “Changer l’eau des fleurs” with Leïla Bekhti, which is produced by Italy’s Palomar and France’s 24 25 Films, as well as the multi-adaptation of the hit French series “Call My Agent.”
