Mandeville Films and Television

What Mandeville Films and Television does

Mandeville Films and Television is a privately held film and television production company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Burbank, California. The company develops, produces, and licenses narrative feature films and television series on a project basis to major studios, streamers, and broadcast networks including Disney, Lionsgate, Netflix, Amazon Studios, ABC, and Universal Studios. Its product slate spans theatrical releases such as Beauty and the Beast (2017, Disney), Wonder (2017, Lionsgate), Stronger (2017, Lionsgate), Insurgent and Allegiant from the Divergent Series, Muppets Most Wanted, The Aeronauts (2019, Amazon Studios), and Extinction (2018, Netflix), alongside television series including The Family and The Fix (ABC) and the Netflix thriller Hit & Run (2021), plus digital and streaming releases such as Sing It (YouTube Red/YouTube Premium) and Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022, Disney Plus).

The company operates with a small core team (11-50 employees) under co-founders and partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, whose 19+ year working relationship and joint recognition on The Hollywood Reporter's list of the 30 Most Powerful Producers in Hollywood function as the central production asset. Operations are structured around a lean development function led by a President of Television and Directors of Development, with production executed through studio partnerships rather than owned infrastructure. There is no disclosed software, platform, or technology product; the offering is the production service itself — packaging IP, talent, and development into project licenses sold to enterprise distribution partners.

Mandeville generates revenue primarily through one-time project license fees (producer fees, backend participation, and ancillary rights) on individual films and series placed with studios and streamers; there are no direct consumer products, subscription pricing, or disclosed per-seat pricing. The go-to-market is project-driven: Mandeville secures overall deals and individual greenlights from a diversified set of major buyers, then delivers completed content against those agreements. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity identified in the available data.
