History
The company was formed in 2003 after the Chrysalis's television arm was acquired by a consortium led by ex-Granada chief Steve Morrison, former ITV Head of Programming, David Liddiment and former Operations MD at Granada, Jules Burns.
In 2013, it was named top UK independent producer, with a turnover of £473m.
On 8 May 2014, it was announced that Discovery, Inc. and Liberty Global would acquire All3Media, in a joint venture valued at US$930 million.[2]
On 24 September 2020, BBC Studios announced their intention to sell their stake in their German joint venture with All3Media, Tower Productions, and launch their own German division, BBC Studios Germany Productions. The sale took effect at the end of 2020.[3]
On 3 December 2020, All3Media acquired Silverback Films, the producer of the Netflix series Our Planet.[4]
On 17 May 2021, it was announced that Discovery, which co-owned All3Media, would be merging with AT&T subsidiary WarnerMedia to form Warner Bros. Discovery.[5]
On 8 April 2022, the merger was completed.
