BBC Studios has upped its 25% stake in “Brexit: The Uncivil War” producer House Productions to take full ownership of the London-based production company. Launched in 2016 by the former…

Launched in 2016 by the former head of Film 4 Tessa Ross and Working Title TV boss Juliette Howell , the company specializes in both film and TV with forthcoming credits including BBC One thriller “Sherwood”; an adaptation of Kate Atkinson’s bestselling novel “Life After Life”; Netflix feature film “The Wonder,” starring Florence Pugh, and “The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle”; and Disney Plus original “The Good Mothers” for Star.

The full acquisition marks another heavy-hitting domestic investment for BBC Studios, which now has equity stakes in 12 independent production companies, including full ownership of “The End of the F—ing World” outfit Clerkenwell Films and “War and Peace” producer Lookout Point, along with a majority stake in “Killing Eve” producer Sid Gentle Films and “Gavin and Stacey” banner Baby Cow Productions.

The House Productions pact arrives as M&A activity around scripted production outfits in the U.K. slowly begins gearing up again after something of a dormant period during COVID., just over a year after snapping up “Sex Education” outfit Eleven Films. In what was another major deal, Endeavor Content bought “The Night Manager” indie The Ink Factory just ahead of the pandemic.

“It’s a fantastic time to be creating compelling drama for both the small and big screen that connects with the widest audience across the globe. We’re excited to continue building on this success, with the talented people we are lucky enough to work with, both inside and outside the company,” said Ross and Howell.
