What 3 Arts Entertainment does

3 Arts Entertainment is a Beverly Hills-based entertainment company founded in 1991 that operates two integrated businesses: talent management and content production. The talent management division represents actors, writers, directors, and creators including Mindy Kaling, Gore Verbinski, Louis Leterrier, and Robert Carlock. The production arm develops and produces film and television for streaming platforms (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video), broadcast networks (NBC), and theatrical distributors (Briarcliff Entertainment). Notable productions include the Emmy-winning comedy 'Hacks' on HBO Max, 'The Hunting Wives' and 'The Last House' on Netflix, 'Not Suitable for Work' on Hulu, and the feature film 'Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die'. In June 2025, the company acquired A&A Management Group and OManagement to launch a sports representation division (3 Arts Sports) handling athletes including WNBA's Sophie Cunningham and NFL/NBA clients.

The company is majority owned by Lionsgate Studios Corp. (NYSE: LION) and operates with 51-100 employees. In January 2025, 3 Arts announced plans to raise up to $250 million to finance expansion into sports and news verticals, with Lionsgate retaining its majority stake. As of early 2026, Lionsgate disclosed it is conducting M&A discussions for the 3 Arts subsidiary with four to five potential partners. Revenue is generated through production fees, licensing agreements, and representation commissions across entertainment, film/TV, and sports segments, though specific financials are not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Excel Sports Management: Excel Sports is a leading sports talent agency representing NBA, NFL, MLB, and WNBA athletes. It is directly comparable to 3 Arts' newly launched sports division and represents the type of competitor the expansion must scale against.
• Anonymous Content: Anonymous Content manages a roster of top directors and writers while producing film, TV, and commercial content. It is a direct competitor for premium creator representation and the streaming-led production mandates 3 Arts pursues.
• Creative Artists Agency (CAA): CAA is one of the largest global talent and sports agencies, directly comparable to 3 Arts across both traditional entertainment representation and sports. Both compete for the same A-list writer, director, and actor clients and increasingly for athlete representation.
• United Talent Agency (UTA): UTA is a major talent and literary agency representing actors, writers, directors, and athletes. Its portfolio approach (representation plus in-house production via UTA Independent Film Group) closely mirrors 3 Arts' hybrid model.
• Management 360: Management 360 is a talent management and production company representing writers, directors, and actors while packaging feature and TV projects. Its hybrid representation-plus-production model is structurally similar to 3 Arts.
• Brillstein Entertainment Partners: Brillstein is a Hollywood talent management and production company representing comedians, actors, writers, and producers. It is closely comparable to 3 Arts as a boutique-style management firm with packaged TV/film credits.
• William Morris Endeavor (WME): WME is a leading global talent agency and the principal direct competitor to 3 Arts in representing creators, packaging TV/film projects, and representing professional athletes. Both agencies operate hybrid representation + production models.

Emerging players

• Range Media Partners: Range is a newer talent management and production firm representing actors, musicians, writers, and athletes with a hybrid content strategy. It is comparable to 3 Arts' emerging sports push and growing production slate.

Broad incumbents

• Lionsgate Studios: Lionsgate is the publicly traded majority owner of 3 Arts and a major independent studio. It is a relevant adjacent incumbent because it both controls 3 Arts' content distribution and competes for the same producer-attached packaging mandates.
• Endeavor Group Holdings: Endeavor is the publicly traded parent of WME and operates UFC, IMG, and On Location; comparable as a broad incumbent in talent representation, content production, and sports, with scale and capital markets access well beyond 3 Arts.
