IM Global Television Boards eOne’s ICE

LOS ANGELES: IM Global Television has made an equity investment in the first season of the Entertainment One (eOne) series ICE.

The crime drama, produced by eOne and Fuqua Films, debuted on AT&T’s Audience Network last month. The series is set in the world of diamond traders in downtown Los Angeles.

IM Global’s founder and CEO, Stuart Ford, said: “ICE is exactly the caliber of high-end, major talent-driven episodic series we set up our financing fund to invest in and we’re delighted to be partnering with a powerhouse independent like Entertainment One on the project hopefully as a template for other potential co-investments together on their shows or ours.”

John Morayniss, CEO of eOne Television, added: “Alongside our dedicated broadcast partners at AT&T’s The Audience Network, we are very excited about ICE. The show has brought together so many talented people and we are delighted today to build on that strength with the addition of IM Global Television, who we look forward to collaborating with on more and more great television in the future.”
