Joe Otterson TV Reporter Tan France has partnered with Madison Wells to incubate and grow his newly-founded production company, French Tuck Media, Variety has learned exclusively.

Madison Wells, the production company founded by Gigi Pritzker, will work with France and French Tuck to develop a content slate that will be co-produced by both companies. “Our whole company is looking forward to having Tan’s French Tuck Media in our fold and to telling global, entertaining stories together,” said Pritzker, founder and CEO of Madison Wells.

French Tuck will focus on unscripted and documentary series with the goal of inspiring community, humanity, and belonging. Additionally, Madison Wells’ back of house infrastructure will provide creative services, business advisory services, and implementation support to French Tuck while also working to expand the French Tuck team. “At Madison Wells, we have wanted to get more heavily involved in the unscripted world, and the minute we met the inimitable Tan France, we knew we had to partner with him to make French Tuck Media a reality,” said Elizabeth Goodstein, vice president of business development and strategy for Madison Wells. “In an entertainment environment of increased consolidation and challenge, we believe that independent production companies who stand strong in their mission and are tied to engaged audiences will be the suppliers of choice.” “When it comes to storytelling, we are all more alike than we are different,” said France. “My dream for French Tuck is to rethink the familiar – to add a little surprise and a new, more global perspective to the content audiences keep coming back to.
