Zodiak Partners with Kelsey Grammer

LOS ANGELES: Kelsey Grammer is getting into the unscripted content business with a new entity, G3 Productions, that has entered into a joint venture with Zodiak USA.

Zodiak USA will have the first look rights to all properties from G3, which is owned and operated by Grammer, Stella Bulochnikov-Stolper and Brian Sher. Grammer already has a track record in scripted production through Grammnet Productions, with credits such as Medium and a new show with Starz and Lionsgate called Boss. Bulochnikov-Stolper helped build the Celebreality brand when she worked at VH1 and later co-founded Ish Entertainment. Sher is Grammer’s partner in Grammnet Productions.

Tony Yates, COO of Zodiak USA, commented of the deal with G3, "It’s an ideal partnership for both parties—Kelsey brings to the table an iconic brand and in return we can offer him a global infrastructure and worldwide distribution.”
