Blink Films has partnered with content executive Peter Wyles to launch Nuntius Studios, a new factual label.
The venture will deliver history, science, true crime and factual entertainment, with Blink Films providing back-office support and collaborating on co-production opportunities.
Wyles was previously director of programs at Future Studios (formerly Barcroft Studios), working on such shows as Real Time Crime (ID/Max), The Day the Dinosaurs Died (BBC/PBS), Attack on Pearl Harbor: Minute by Minute (5/Nat Geo/Netflix) and Vanished: The Lucie Blackman Mystery (Prime Video).
Dan Chambers and Justine Kershaw, co-founders and creative directors at Blink Films, said: “Peter Wyles is one of the most talented executive producers in the non-scripted world and we are all very excited to be partnering with him in Nuntius. We see a lot of synergies between the two companies and have identified opportunities where both companies can benefit through this new relationship.”
Wyles, founder and creative director of Nuntius Studios, added: “We set up Nuntius to deliver popular, entertaining and high-quality unscripted content to broadcasters and streamers across the fast-evolving media landscape. Dan and Justine have an amazing track record of delivering long-running hits and high-profile factual specials, frequently with multiple international co-production partners. I’m thrilled to be joining forces with them and everyone at Blink to help achieve my vision for Nuntius.”
Rod Henwood, chairman of Tin Roof Media, Blink Films’ parent company, added: “Peter represents exactly the producing talent we are keen to attract to the group: he’s an entrepreneurial creative originator and producer of great output. And he has the talent to adapt to the changing TV landscape.”
