Seth Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures Inks Lionsgate TV First-Look Deal

Point Grey Pictures and Lionsgate Television are expanding their working relationship.

The company headed by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver has signed a first-look TV deal with Lionsgate, under which Point Grey will develop and produce scripted series. Lionsgate TV and Point Grey recently began production on The Studio, an Apple TV+ comedy featuring an A-list cast that includes Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders and Bryan Cranston along with Rogen.

Point Grey and Lionsgate have a relationship that goes back several years: The two companies signed a multi-platform content deal in 2019. They also teamed for Peacock’s 2023 series Paul T. Goldman.

“Seth, Evan and James are the masters of subversive, renegade humor who make coming to work both fun and funny every single day,” said Kevin Beggs, chair and chief creative officer of Lionsgate Television Group. “From The Boys to Sausage Party, they are true trendsetters with their fingers on the pulse of what’s funny in entertainment. We began shooting their hilarious, wildly inventive half-hour comedy for Apple TV+ and can hardly wait to see what they do next.”

Said Goldberg, Rogen and Weaver in a statement, “Kevin, Sandra Stern and Scott Herbst are great partners who support our creative vision, have relationships with every platform in the world and still laugh at all of our jokes. Who could ask for more? We look forward to continuing to push the creative envelope with them.”  

Point Grey’s TV output includes The Boys and Gen V for Amazon, Showtime’s Black Monday, AMC’s Preacher and Hulu’s Future Man in addition to The Studio. On the feature film side of its business, Point Grey has produced the two Neighbors movies, Blockers, Good Boys, Sausage Party, The Night Before, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, among others, and signed a first-look film deal with Universal Pictures in January.
