Nutopia links with Studio Lambert for US push

Jane Root’s UK-based indie Nutopia has partnered with All3Media-backed Studio Lambert to bring its new British formats business to the US.

In the UK, Nutopia started out focusing on documentaries before moving into formats, with shows such as Channel 4’s celebrity bio series The House That Made Me, and is now seeking to do the same stateside.

Under the agreement, Nutopia will coproduce US versions of its UK shows with Studio Lambert USA, North American arm of the Undercover Boss prodco helmed by Project Runway creator Eli Holzman.

“Mega-docs were our first priority when we started, but now we’re also building up our format business and I felt it was time to find the right US production partner,” said Nutopia CEO Root, who was formerly controller of BBC2 and general manager of the US Discovery Channel.

“We are committed to bringing some of the most successful and daring formats in the UK to the states,” added Studio Lambert CEO Stephen Lambert.
