About

Storyglass, which was launched in 2018 as a scripted-focused division of Fremantle's global drama department, will now produce projects across all genres, including non-scripted, documentary, true crime, lifestyle, music and talent-led series for all major podcast distribution platforms.

It will operate as a standalone Bertelsmann company and will focus on developing and producing podcasts that complement the output of each of the businesses across TV, media, books and music.

The division is designed to bring together expertise from across Bertelsmann's companies - including Fremantle, Penguin Random House UK and DK, and music firm BMG - as part of its recently established Content Alliance initiative, designed to create group-wide formats and marketing opportunities.
