Chernin & Endeavor in Drama Pact

Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content are partnering to finance, develop and create scripted drama series for all platforms.

Under the agreement, Chernin Entertainment will produce all projects while Endeavor Content will handle international sales and provide advisory services. This marks the first partnership since the formation of Endeavor Content, which brought together WME and IMG’s scripted TV and film financing and sales groups.

Peter Chernin, CEO of The Chernin Group, said: “This is a new, leaner studio model with state-of-the-art distribution focused on today’s evolving global marketplace. The partnership with Endeavor Content will allow us to dedicate the bulk of our capital to championing artists and their creative vision.”

Endeavor Content co-president Chris Rice commented: “Peter Chernin’s track record speaks for itself. He is one of the most prolific content creators in our business, demonstrating time and again his ability to identify great stories that resonate with global audiences.”

“We look forward to combining his creative expertise and Endeavor Content’s platform to bring high-end scripted drama series to life,” added Endeavor Content co-president Graham Taylor.
