History
The company was formed by Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin, both executives with Endemol Shine Australia, setting up Los Angeles and Sydney offices in 2016.[2] The company also formed a partnership with Fremantle to co-produce international projects, with the studio taking an investment in Eureka.[3] In 2018, Eureka signed a deal with Lionsgate to be the exclusive distributor and producer of Lionsgate entertainment and unscripted series in Australia.[4]
In 2021, Fremantle acquired a majority stake in Eureka. In 2022, Fremantle restructured its Australian operations to make Eureka responsible for all of its non-scripted output, assuming production duties for existing series such as Australian Idol from Fremantle Australia (which will primarily focus on scripted dramas and factual programming under new CEO Greg Woods).[5][6]
