Endemol France (formerly known as Case Productions and Endemol Shine France) is a French production subsidiary of Banijay Entertainment.

History

In Spring 1994, television presenter Arthur and producer Stéphane Courbit launched two French television production companies named CASE Productions which is an acronym of its full name "Courbit Arthur Stéphane Essebag" and Arthur Stéphane Productions (ASP) to produce game shows & talk shows to the French broadcasters.[1]

In 1998, it was announced that Dutch audiovisual production group named Endemol had acquired a 50% stake in French production company ASP/CASE Productions from Arthur and Courbit.

On 8 December 2006, Endemol announced that they would reacquire their French division Endemol France from their former parent Telefónica.[2] By 9 January 2007, the Dutch-based European entertainment company had made a deal with their former parent company Telefónica to buy back their French outfit which would become a division of the reunited Dutch-based entertainment giant.[3]

In October 2007, Endemol France announced their CEO Stéphane Courbit had been stepping down his role of being CEO after working with Endemol France for 12 years[4]

In June 2009 five years before Endemol France merged with Shine France and ten years before Banijay's acquisition of Endemol Shine France, Shine Group announced that they've expanding their operation into France by creating their new division named Shine France and had hired former Endemol France chief content officer Thierry Lachkar to become Shine France's CEO.[5][6]

On April 7, 2021, Endemol Shine France rebranded themselves back to its original name Endemol France.
