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.

Based in Glasgow and with labels in London, Brighton, Manchester and Belfast, 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 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.

Each STV Studios label brings its own distinct style of programme-making to the table.

Recent successes for our scripted labels include global hit The Witness (produced by Blackhill for Netflix); critically-acclaimed Apple TV thriller Criminal Record (co-produced by Tod Productions and STV Studios); and Two Cities Television’s gripping police drama Blue Lights for the BBC.

 

And on the unscripted side of things, our labels are responsible for much-loved formats such as Lego Masters (Tuesday's Child); Antiques Road Trip (STV Studios Factual); Bridge of Lies (STV Studios); Catchphrase (STV Studios); Game of Wool (Hello Halo); The Yorkshire Auction House (STV Studios Factual); The Underdog: Josh Must Win (Primal Media); and Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts (Crackit Productions).
