History

The company was founded in 2000 as Berlanti-Liddell Productions by screenwriter, producer and filmmaker Greg Berlanti and producer Mickey Liddell.[1]

In March 2003, the company signed a three-year deal with Warner Bros. Television.[1] In February 2006, the company signed a three-year overall deal with Touchstone Television.[2] In August 2006, Liddell left the company, and the company was renamed to Berlanti Television.[3] In July 2008, the company re-signed its overall deal with ABC Studios (formally Touchstone Television) for an additional five-year deal.[4] In March 2011, the company signed a four-year overall deal with Warner Bros. Television, ending its overall deal with ABC Studios two years early. The company also changed its name to Berlanti Productions to reflect its television and film divisions combining together.[5]

In February 2014, Sarah Schechter became the company's president, overseeing the development and production of the company's television and film projects.[6] Before joining the company, Schechter was a senior production vice president at Warner Bros.[6]

In June 2018, the company entered a six-year overall development and production deal with Warner Bros. Television Group until 2024.[7]

In February 2020, David Madden joined the company as its new president, taking over from the company's former president Sarah Schechter.[8] Schechter moved to the newly created positions of chairwoman and partner.[8] Before joining the company, Madden was the former president of AMC Networks and Fox Broadcasting Company.[8]

In August 2021, Dannah Shinder joined the company as executive vice president of television. Before joining the company, Shinder was senior vice president of television at Elizabeth Banks' Brownstone Productions.[9] In January 2022, Suzanne Gomez joined the company as chief marketing officer, and head of talent relations. Gomez was previously senior vice president of publicity at The CW, a position she held since the inception of the network in 2006.[10]

In January 2023, the company signed a four-year exclusive overall deal for Berlanti Productions to remain at the Warner Bros. studio for its television operations into the year 2027 with Warner Bros. Television Group.[11][12]
