What Shed Media does

Warner Bros International TV Production (WBITVP) is the international television production arm of Warner Bros. Discovery, operating a network of 22 production labels across 15 territories spanning Europe (United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark) and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand). Headquartered in London, the division produces both original local scripted and non-scripted programming and local adaptations of formats owned or controlled by Warner Bros. Discovery. Where WBITVP lacks local production capability, it licenses formats to third-party producers.

WBITVP's portfolio includes established production labels such as Wall to Wall, Ricochet, and Twenty Twenty in the UK, alongside regional entities such as Blaz Hoffski and Holland's Licht Producties in the Netherlands. Notable active formats and productions include The Final Circle (quiz show), 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing (cooking competition), Lucy Worsley Victorian Murder Club (historical documentary), Inside Therapy (mental health format), First Dates Beach Club (dating show), and 100 Cooks (new cooking format rolling out internationally in summer 2026).

The business model is built on licensing royalties and production services revenue, generated by selling original local programming and format adaptations to national broadcasters. The primary customer segment is public and commercial television broadcasters seeking locally-resonant content backed by proven international formats. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise relationships with broadcasters, supported by industry events such as the Formats Showcase 2025 and a digital catalogue on wbitvp.com. WBITVP holds no independent stock listing and operates as a wholly-owned division of Warner Bros. Discovery.
