Background

A&E Studios, LLC (stylized as A+E Studios) is A&E Networks' in house scripted production company. The studios divisions included A&E Originals and A&E IndieFilms.

A&E Networks formed the studio in June 2013 under president Bob DeBitetto with three projects in development, one for each flagship channels. At MIPCOM in October 2014, International executive vice president Sean Cohan and DeBitetto launched A&E Studios International as a distribution and financing unit to distribution A&E Studios productions.
