Redseven Unveils Journalism, Documentary & Reportage Unit

The Red Arrow Studios company Redseven Entertainment is expanding its production portfolio with the newly created journalism, documentary and reportage unit.

Jan Rasmus is joining Redseven as executive producer to develop and manage the new unit. In this role, he will be responsible for the development and production of reportage and documentary formats with a journalistic background.

Rasmus was most recently head of the investigative journalism and documentaries department at RTL.

The journalism, documentary and reportage unit, which is launching next January, will complement the existing entertainment and fiction divisions.

Jobst Benthues, CEO of Redseven Entertainment, said: “It has always been our ambition to look to develop content in new program genres. The increasing demand for relevant, well-researched content that both entertains and informs offers us as content creators a world of new opportunities. I know that our clients will be able to further strengthen their profile and inspire their audience with such formats. In addition to our entertainment and fiction divisions, the establishment of the new journalism, documentary and reportage unit is, therefore, a logical next step. We are pleased that we were able to win Jan as an absolute expert in this field. With his enormous wealth of experience in the development, editing and production of journalistic content, he is the ideal person for the job, and I am sure that we will achieve a lot together.”

Jan Rasmus, executive producer of journalism, documentary and reportage at Redseven Entertainment, said: “My switch to the production side now takes me directly to where content and stories are created. This corresponds to the principle of my work: to bring the viewers as close as possible to the events. That’s why my new role at Redseven Entertainment offers completely new possibilities for me. We want to build a team of journalists who produce high-quality reportage and unique documentaries for all channels and platforms—thus making Redseven the home of entertainment and relevant information. I look forward to joining Jobst and his team on this journey and helping to shape it.”
