Southern Star first partnered with the Dutch-based company in 2000, producing shows as Endemol Southern Star before a 100% buyout in 2009 as Southern Star Entertainment.

“Today we continue to be one of the most successful and prolific production companies in Australia and we belong to the Endemol group, the world’s largest independent production company, with around 90 companies in over 30 countries. We’re proud of that association.”

One of the country’s largest production houses, Endemol Australia’s current slate of programs include Offspring, Puberty Blues, Party Tricks, Gallipoli, Big Brother, When Love Comes to Town, Crash Test Mummies and Daddies, Legally Brown, Hairy Legs and In Your Dreams.

Endemol is owned by Italian media conglomerate Mediaset.

The rebranding process will be in full effect by February.
