EXCLUSIVE: Fremantle has acquired True Detective and This England exec Richard Brown’s Passenger, with Brown landing a role within the super-indie’s Global Drama division.
The highly-acquisitive RTL-owned outfit already has an exclusive overall agreement with Passenger, which has spawned the likes of This England, Sky’s recent retelling of the early days of the Covid pandemic and Boris Johnson’s government, penned by Michael Winterbottom.
Passenger, which launched when that deal was struck three-and-a-half years ago, will become a fully-owned Fremantle label, sitting within Christian Vesper’s Global Drama division. The deal is one of a spate Fremantle has unveiled in recent weeks.
Brown will continue running Passenger while taking on a creative role within Vesper’s team, helping drive Fremantle’s efforts in the development of both TV and film and building up talent relationships. His New York, LA and London-based indie will expand with the signing of VP, Development Caitlin Bruner and promotion of Elisa Swift to Creative Executive. More hires are expected in due course.
Andrea Scrosati, Fremantle Group COO/CEO Continental Europe, said Brown has “built a wonderful business and we have shared great creative exchanges.”
“He is one of the most culturally sophisticated producers I have ever worked with, so I am thrilled that we will continue to work together creating more unique content for the global stage across many genres,” added Scrosati.
Brown called Fremantle “the ideal partner,” offering “unwavering support and a distinct vision at a transformative time for our industry.”
Prior to Passenger, Brown worked with Steve Golin on Anonymous Content’s expansion into TV, exec producing hits including HBO’s True Detective
