Sky Studios Takes Stake in New TV Banner From 'The Catch' Exec Producer, Former ITV Drama Exec
Sky Studios, the production arm of the Comcast-owned European pay TV giant Sky, has bolstered its drama investments for the second time in under a month, taking a minority stake in the new TV-focused production outfit Longboat Pictures. Longboat was founded in 2019 by Los Angeles-based director-producer Julie Anne Robinson, a Shondaland grad who executive produced The Catch and has directed episodes of OrangeIis the New Black, The Good Place and Grey's Anatomy, and Victoria Fea, who spent eight years as senior drama commissioner for ITV, where she was behind series such as A Confession, Manhunt and Little Boy Blue.
