Originating in France and wholly owned by TF1 Group (Europe’s leading commercial broadcaster), Newen Studios, rebranded as Studio TF1 in January 2025, has rapidly expanded to become a major player in the European film and TV production industry, as well as distribution.
Active across all content genres—from gripping dramas and investigative documentaries to laugh-out-loud entertainment and beloved family animations—Studio TF1 now oversees more than 50 production companies and labels across 12 countries, including Europe, the USA, and Canada. According to Pierre Branco, CEO of the group since April 2024, the most exciting chapters are yet to be written. Balancing a deep understanding of market shifts with forward-thinking strategies, diversifying genres and investments, and embracing both bold innovation and core industry values, Pierre Branco shares his strategic vision and leadership insights.
