Eureka named in Global Formats list

Eureka Productions is the only Australian production company to be named in RealScreen’s Global 100.

The Fremantle-owned company, based in Sydney and Los Angeles, is listed in the Format category for their productions including Stars on Mars, Farmer Wants a Wife, The Floor, The Parent Test and The Mole.

Their upcoming shows include The Quiz With Balls (Fox); The Mole season 2 (Netflix); The Amazing Race Australia season 8 (Network 10).

They are listed alongside production companies including Endemol Shine North America, Talpa Studios, Armoza Formats, IDTV and Thames.

Co-CEOs Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin point to “how global financial pressures continue to drive down budgets. More than ever it is essential to find creative ways of keeping costs down while at the same time delivering distinctive, stand out shows with world-class production values.

“Despite the financial pressures, it is bold non-derivative concepts that will continue to break through,” they add. “Eureka is fully focused on building distinctive ambitious formats that will cut through a cluttered landscape and deliver buzz and audiences for our networks and streaming partners.”
