EXCLUSIVE: Youngest Media, the UK entertainment producer behind MTV’s Game of Clones and NBC’s Small Fortune, is shutting down after seven years.
The company was founded in 2016 by former Endemol Shine executives Lucas Church and David Flynn, and counted Elisabeth Murdoch among its backers until 2021.

We’d like to thank everyone who has been part of Youngest, who made all this possible and turned our company into such a fun place to work.”
The producer’s most recently published accounts for 2020 showed it had liabilities of £3.4M, including a near-£3M loan from a shareholder that was due to be repaid in May last year. The accounts did not specify which of Youngest’s shareholders advanced the loan.
