Since its founding in 2008, FilmNation Entertainment has expanded beyond its film roots. FilmNation launched its television division with “I Know This Much is True” for HBO, for which Mark Ruffalo earned the 2020 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. Shooting is currently underway on “The House of the Spirits in Chile” for Prime Video. Coming soon is “Small Town,” “Big Story for Sky,” from creator Chris O’Dowd and starring Christina Hendricks and Paddy Considine. With teams in both Los Angeles and London, FilmNation’s television division is currently developing multiple new projects with global appeal.

FilmNation’s theater investments include 2024 Tony Award winner for Best Play Stereophonic, recent runaway West End and Broadway hit, “Prima Facie,” which earned Jodie Comer the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play and the Olivier Award for Best Actress; “The Sound Inside,” which earned Mary-Louise Parker the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play; and “The Band’s Visit,” one of four productions ever to win the ‘big six’ Tony awards including Best Musical. Other productions include “The Pillowman,” written by Martin McDonagh, which was recently revived for a West End run.

FilmNation’s podcasting division is the home of non-fiction storytelling for the company, featuring character-driven storytelling and original voices uniquely suited to the medium. Popular podcasts include “SNAFU” with Ed Helms for iHeartMedia, winner of the Signal Award for Best Writing – Limited Series and Specials and History – Limited Series and Specials and 2023 nominee for Best History Podcast for the Ambie Awards; the true crime podcast “Murder on the Towpath” for Luminary with host Soledad O’Brien; “Torched for Stitcher” with host Molly Bloom; and “Hyper- thetical” hosted by Kerry Bishé.
