History
Anonymous Content was founded in 1999 by CEO Steve Golin. In 2001, negotiations occurred for it to merge with Ridley Scott Associates, but no deal was reached.[2] In 2002, AC made its first foray into television with Crime & Punishment, a reality show that ran for three seasons on NBC.[3]
In May 2011, it was announced that AC's talent management division had added managers Tony Lipp, Sandra Chang and Doug Wald, who brought several major talents with them.[4]
In March 2014, AC appointed David Fierson as Head of Business Operations.[5] In May, it signed a three-year first look production deal with Paramount Television, where Paramount would produce and distribute scripted programming developed by AC.[6][7] Michael Sugar became a partner of the company.[8]
In September 2015, Alix Madigan left AC and joined Broad Green Pictures, previously working staff producer.[9]
In January 2016, AC signed a deal with MBC Group's 03 Productions to advise them on developing and producing Arabic and English-language content.[6] In February, Kevin Cotter was hired as Director of Literary Affairs at the company's New York office, where he would oversee researching books, articles and other intellectual property for development and production.[10] More recently, Dawn Olmsead was invited to join the company after leaving Universal Content Productions.[11]

In October 2021, AC announced it would adapt Lillian Hellman's play The Children's Hour into a television series, with Bess Wohl writing the screenplay.[12] It also announced that it would adapt Ursula Le Guin's 1974 novel The Dispossessed as a series.[13]
