Endeavor is restructuring WME and IMG’s film and scripted TV finance and sales groups to form Endeavor Content.

Endeavor Content, which will operate as a division of Endeavor, brings together WME Global and IMG’s entertainment sales groups, which have collectively financed, packaged and/or sold more than 100 films and TV shows in the past year. In TV, this includes The Night Manager, The Young Pope, Top of the Lake: China Girl, Beau Willimon’s new series The First and Damien Chazelle’s upcoming project The Eddy.

Graham Taylor and Chris Rice will serve as co-presidents of Endeavor Content. Joe Hipps is joining Endeavor Content as senior VP of television. He was previously the senior VP of television for MRC, where he oversaw House of Cards and Ozark.

“With the continued disruption taking place across the media landscape, we are forming Endeavor Content to enable talent to achieve better economics and more creative freedom,” said Taylor.

“Through our ability to package content, access capital resources and engage our global sales infrastructure, Endeavor Content provides a unique platform designed to empower artists and content creators,” added Rice.
