Endeavor Content Takes Stake in The Ink Factory

Endeavor Content has entered into a strategic partnership with The Night Manager producer The Ink Factory, acquiring a minority stake in the studio.

The partnership also sees the establishment of a bespoke development fund for Ink to draw on. The parties have now established an alliance that will specifically address the U.S. TV market with high-end series tackling themes of contemporary global relevance, developed out of Ink’s L.A. base.

As part of the deal, Endeavor Content will have a formal first-look agreement covering both film and TV to sell forthcoming Ink Factory projects internationally.

Graham Taylor and Chris Rice, co-presidents of Endeavor Content, said: “Telling global stories to a worldwide audience is the essence of Endeavor Content, and The Ink Factory is uniquely positioned to create content that does just that. We are excited for this next chapter of continued growth together and look forward to what’s to come.”

Simon and Stephen Cornwell, co-CEOs and founders at The Ink Factory, added: “Today marks a big moment in The Ink Factory’s progress. This partnership with Endeavor Content will help us accelerate our growth as an independent studio and will significantly enhance our U.S. market presence. We look forward to building on the fruitful collaboration we have had with Endeavor Content since their inception as our sales partner on The Night Manager, and we are excited to enter the new decade with Chris, Graham and their brilliant team at our sides.”
