Tiger Aspect Productions

What Tiger Aspect Productions does

Tiger Aspect Productions Limited is a UK scripted television and film production company founded in 1993 by Peter Bennett-Jones, headquartered in London and operating as a subsidiary of Banijay Group, one of the world's largest independent content producers and distributors, since 2022. The company originates, develops and produces scripted content across multiple genres — gangster drama (Peaky Blinders, six seasons 2013-2022), historical drama (Domina, Litvinenko), comedy (Bad Education, Man Like Mobeen, The Other One), life-affirming drama (The Good Karma Hospital, Three Little Birds) — and the AI-driven impressions format Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, the world's first long-form narrative show using deep fake technology.

The company's revenue model is built on production fees and content licensing to a concentrated set of enterprise customers: UK broadcasters (BBC, ITV) and international streaming and pay-TV platforms (Netflix, Sky Atlantic/MGM+). Tiger Aspect does not publicly disclose pricing; commercial terms are negotiated through individual production and licensing agreements. Distribution reach spans Europe (primary UK base) and North America, with shows distributed internationally on Netflix and other platforms. Operational scale is 51-100 employees, supplemented by trainee programmes with WildChild, Screen Yorkshire and North East Screen Comedy Hot House that build a pipeline of writers, directors and producers.

The company's competitive position rests on a deep catalog of award-winning IP (multiple BAFTAs, NTAs, IFTA, RTS and FIPA awards for Peaky Blinders), long-standing relationships with high-profile creative talent, and the distribution leverage of the Banijay parent group. Recent strategic activity signals continued franchise extension (Bad Education Series 5, Man Like Mobeen Series 5 in 2025), format innovation via AI (Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, 2023), and geographic expansion into Indian feature film production (Khalnayak Returns, 2026).
