BBC Studios will merge its Entertainment & Music, Factual Entertainment & Events, and International Productions & Formats, and is fully integrating its worldwide network of production bases to create a new Global Entertainment business.
All six shows included in the deal will air later this year and in early 2024 on Drama, Alibi and UKTV Play. This agreement is the first between the two companies.
The new deals follow the latest industry recognition for "Bluey": 2023 Toy of the Year Awards nomination for License of the Year and a 2023 Television Critics Association Award win for Outstanding Achievement in Children’s Programming.
Holland will report to Tom McDonald, MD of Factual, and will now lead the whole unit, overseeing all its programming from bases in Scotland, London, Salford, and Cardiff.
