• Tiger Aspect Productions: Tiger Aspect is a UK-based Endemol Shine label where founders Potts and Nash first worked together. Operates in the same UK unscripted development space and is a comparable boutique-format indie to Nobody's Hero's UK presence.

Broad incumbents

• ITV Studios: ITV Studios is the production and distribution arm of ITV plc and the parent of ITV America, Nobody's Hero's overall-deal partner. Operates the international distribution of Nobody's Hero's formats and competes in the same unscripted market.

• Fremantle: Fremantle (American Idol, Got Talent, The X Factor) is one of the largest global unscripted production groups. Jonty Nash previously worked at Fremantle UK, and the group competes for the same streamer and network commissions Nobody's Hero targets.
