Шаблон:Main

Endemol was founded in 1994 by a merger of television production companies owned by Joop van den Ende and John de Mol, the name deriving from the combination of their surnames.[19]

Endemol specialised in formatted programming that can be adapted for different countries around the world as well as different media platforms. One notable success has been the Big Brother reality television show, with versions in many countries after the initial Dutch version. Other examples include Deal or No Deal (sold to over 75 countries), The Money Drop (sold in over 50 countries), Fear Factor (sold in 30 countries) and Wipeout (sold in over 35 countries). In recent years the company has also been expanding its English language drama output with shows such as titles such as The Fall, Peaky Blinders, Ripper Street and Black Mirror in the UK and Hell on Wheels in the US. In November 2013 the company launched Endemol Beyond, an international division specialising in original content for digital video platforms such as YouTube.

Sale to Banijay

In April 2018, Fox and Apollo appointed Deutsche Bank and Aryeh Bourkoff's LionTree to handle a potential sale of Endemol Shine, following Fox's sale to The Walt Disney Company.[20] William Morris Endeavor[21] and Banijay[22] had eyed an acquisition of Endemol Shine, with Banijay reported to have even entered advanced talks to buy the studio.[23]

On 29 August 2018, the RTL Group (which owns Fremantle) withdrew its bid for Endemol Shine.[24] In September 2018, BBC Studios,[25] along with Discovery, Inc. and Liberty Global (which each own 50% of All3Media)[26] announced that they would not bid on the studio. ITV plc provisionally placed a bid on the studio but did not confirm an official bid as the sale is still only a potential scenario at this point.[27] In October 2018, ITV plc withdrew from the auction.[28] Sony Pictures Entertainment, DHX Media (now WildBrain) and Lionsgate also ruled out of the bidding.[29] ProSiebenSat.1 Media (which owns Red Arrow Studios) was reported to be considered for a joint bid with Banijay, but the latter ruled itself out as well.[30]

Endemol Shine later made a statement that they had been in negotiations with several parties and were confident they would have an owner by end of November 2018.[31] However, on 6 November 2018 it was reported that both Fox and Apollo have decided to suspend the selling process as a deal could not be reached by prospective buyers. In the meantime, Fox's 50% stake in the company was given to Disney.[32] The report was published hours before European Commission's clearance of Disney's impending purchase of Fox on certain conditions.[33]

On 22 October 2019, Banijay officially announced its intent to acquire Endemol Shine from Disney and Apollo for over $2.2 billion.[34] On 26 October 2019, Banijay announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of Endemol Shine Group.[35] The merger was approved on 26 October 2019, pending antitrust approval.[36]

In February 2020, Banijay raised $2,600,000,000 in refinancing for acquiring Endemol Shine.[37]

On 30 June 2020, the European Commission approved Banijay's purchase of Endemol Shine.[8] The purchase was completed three days later, and Endemol Shine was folded into Banijay. For a year, Banijay continued to use the Endemol Shine brand for many of its production divisions.[9]

Podcasts

In November 2021, it was announced that Endemol Shine will be moving into podcasting for the first time with a partnership with KT Studios with the aim of developing and co-producing original podcasts.[38]
