Endemol Shine North America & True Entertainment Pact with Left Hook

LOS ANGELES: Endemol Shine North America and its subsidiary production company True Entertainment have signed Left Hook Media to overall production deals.

Left Hook Media is already in production with the Endemol Shine North America team on the upcoming MTV series Almost Impossible Game Show. Left Hook has aligned with True Entertainment for the upcoming series Summer House on Bravo. Left Hook Media was founded by unscripted producers Scott Teti and Matt Odgers, whose credits during their time at 51 Minds Entertainment include Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and I Love New York. The move reunites Teti and Odgers with Cris Abrego, the co-CEO of Endemol Shine North America and co-chairman of Endemol Shine Americas who previously co-founded 51 Minds.

“I’m personally thrilled to have both Scott and Matt back working with me and with our extended team here at Endemol Shine,” said Abrego. “They are two of the most creative, hard-working guys in this business and they’ve produced nearly every type of unscripted show imaginable. And they are already off and running with several series coming down the pike, including Almost Impossible Game Show at MTV.”

Steven Weinstock and Glenda Hersh, co-presidents and co-CEOs of True Entertainment and Endemol Shine’s Original Media, said, “Scott and Matt have a great history producing edgy and diverse shows that tap into pop culture in a fun and unique way. We’re excited to work with them on Summer House and other series that push the envelope across a range of genres.”

Teti and Odgers added, “We’re incredibly excited to be working with Cris again and everyone at Endemol Shine North America, as well as Steven and Glenda at True Entertainment. With the vast amount of experience, insight and resources these companies provide, we really couldn’t have hoped for a better place to launch Left Hook Media.”
