Who we are

STV Studios is one of the UK’s leading producers of scripted and unscripted content and we're proud to be the biggest TV production group in Scotland.

Over the years, we’ve built an impressive track record across drama, entertainment and factual, working with a range of broadcasters and streamers including Apple TV+, Netflix, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky. 

Our in-house labels - STV Studios Drama, STV Studios Entertainment and STV Studios Factual - have produced thousands of hours of captivating television, including BAFTA and International Emmy award-winning drama Elizabeth Is Missing, long-running fact-ent series Antiques Road Trip, and nail-biting quiz format Bridge of Lies, which has gone on to become a hit in several major international territories.

The STV Studios group is made up of 20 uniquely brilliant production labels, who each bring their own distinct style of programme-making to the table.

Along with bolstering our in-house labels, our growth strategy has focused on attracting the best talent and creative leadership to the STV Studios family through partnerships with some of the boldest indies in the business. Our labels have much in common: enviable expertise, stellar reputations, and international ambition.

 

Recent successes for our labels include critically-acclaimed Apple TV+ thriller Criminal Record (co-produced by Tod Productions and STV Studios); Two Cities Television’s gripping police drama Blue Lights for BBC One; BAFTA-winning Channel 4 comedy chat show Late Night Lycett (Rumpus Media); hit international format Lego Masters (Tuesday’s Child), which has aired in 20 territories across the globe; and Primal Media reality series The Underdog: Josh Must Win for E4, which is also being adapted for US audiences as part of a development deal with NBCUniversal.

 

A number of exciting new productions are coming soon, including the second series of ITV reality hit The Fortune Hotel (Tuesday's Child) and Mozart biopic Amadeus for Sky (Two Cities Television).
