Sources tell us that Sony is close to taking a significant stake in Eleven, beating a host of potential suitors who were keen to partner with one of the hottest pieces of production real estate in the UK.
Deadline understands that production groups including All3Media looked at Eleven during a competitive situation. Rumors have also been rife in the UK that Netflix cast an eye over the company, even though the streamer has previously denied that it is getting into the acquisitions game. Sony will buyout Channel 4’s 20% stake in Eleven after the British broadcaster first invested in the company in 2014 as part of its Indie Growth Fund initiative. It’s not yet clear if Sony is taking a minority or controlling stake in Eleven.
