BBC Studios Takes Full Control Of ‘Wilderness’ And ‘Wahala’ Producer Firebird Pictures

BBC Studios has taken full control of Firebird Pictures, the British drama indie behind Prime Video’s Wilderness and BBC One’s Wahala. The BBC’s commercial arm already had a stake…

Firebird say it has multiple projects in development with UK and U.S. platforms, and expects further greenlights to be announced later this year.

Kilgarriff and Holleworth said in a statement: “From the very beginning of Firebird’s journey with just a blank piece of paper and an empty office with one chair, BBC Studios have supported and backed us every step of the way, fully trusting in our vision and ambition and helping build the company to where we are today. We are delighted to now be cementing our relationship and are excited for Firebird’s future as we grow the company together.

BBC Studios returned more than £180M to the UK independent production sector in 2021/2022 in development funding, rights investment and royalties.
