Radial Entertainment has acquired the New Dominion Pictures catalog, covering 600-plus hours of content, including The FBI Files.
For Radial, which is backed by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, the move expands its slate of owned IP and its available rights to New Dominion titles; the company previously managed and distributed The FBI Files and The New Detectives on FAST in the U.S. It now takes ownership of the underlying intellectual property of these titles worldwide, along with shows such as A Haunting and 17 additional properties across automotive, rescue, international crime, and other sub-genres.
“Owning IP is the foundation of a durable content strategy,” said Jeff Shultz, CEO of Radial Entertainment. “In a world where distribution is increasingly fragmented, controlling both the asset and its global distribution allows us to maximize value over time. These are proven franchises with enduring demand. With full rights in perpetuity, including remake and production rights, we can both optimize the existing catalog across global platforms and actively develop new content, extending the life of these brands for decades.”
David Stockmeier, president of New Dominion Pictures, added, “This transaction is the culmination of co-founder Nicolas Valcour’s vision to continue to deliver high-quality, non-fiction programming to the world for years to come.”
