Pegg announced the news on social media this morning, writing: “We are beyond heartbroken at the sudden and unexpected passing of our friend and colleague, Miles Ketley.

“He was the captain of our ship and the head of our family at Stolen Picture. We will miss him with all our hearts. We send boundless love and sympathy to his family and friends and ask that everyone’s privacy be respected at this time.”

Ketley joined Sony-backed Stolen Picture in 2017 to lead the firm established by Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead stars Pegg and Frost.

The company’s latest project, comedy-horror TV series Truth Seekers, launched on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month, with Ketley among its executive producers.

Ketley was previously chief operating officer at independent prodco Bad Wolf and, prior to that, co-head of the UK’s largest media law firm, Wiggin.
