With a remit to develop &#8220;bold, scalable IP,&#8221; Mather will work in close collaboration with\u00a0Fremantle\u2019s creative talent and partners.<\/p>\n<p>Mather was most recently executive VP at Wheelhouse Entertainment, where he co-created <em>Million Dollar Secrets<\/em>, <em>Got to Get Out<\/em>, <em>Last Bite Hotel<\/em> and <em>Celebrity Puzzling. <\/em>Previously, he was creative director at Possessed and managing director of Remarkable TV. He will report into Fremantle UK CEO Amelia Brown.<\/p>\n<p>Brown noted: &#8220;To combine the creative format leadership of Nick with the production strength of Fremantle\u2019s labels and companies is incredibly exciting. It places format creation right at the heart of everything we do at Fremantle and with his wealth of experience across the U.K., U.S. and international markets, Nick is perfectly placed to drive bold new ideas with global potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mather said: \u201cFremantle Global Originals is built on a simple idea; if you match motivated, forward-thinking creatives with Fremantle\u2019s towering international infrastructure, you create a uniquely exciting space. Somewhere where creative ambition is matched by a commitment to make big, bold ideas happen. I\u2019m looking forward to taking big swings with big swingers\u2014if I&#8217;m allowed to call them that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fremantle has enlisted Nick Mather to lead a label dedicated to the development of original unscripted formats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":15159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3114,1482,4363,4364],"class_list":["post-15158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amelia-brown","tag-fremantle","tag-fremantle-global-originals","tag-nick-mather","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fremantle Launches New Format Development Label - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fremantle Launches New Format Development Label - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fremantle has enlisted Nick Mather to lead a label dedicated to the development of original unscripted formats.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-06-30T12:19:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-30T12:23:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Nick-Mather-FM-625.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/\",\"name\":\"Fremantle Launches New Format Development Label - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-06-30T12:19:15+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-06-30T12:23:03+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fremantle-launches-new-format-development-label\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Fremantle Launches New Format Development Label\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
