Joe Sugg’s new production company forms BBC partnership
OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Sugg has launched a new production company, Final Straw Productions, and formed a partnership with BBC Studios.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant’s new firm will aim to focus on developing entertainment and factual entertainment formats for people of all ages.
He said: “I am really excited to partner with BBC Studios on this future venture with Final Straw Productions.
“My head has always been so full of ideas, so to be able to have the opportunity to build a great team who can help bring these ideas to life with the backing of BBC Studios and their guidance and expertise is fantastic.”
YouTuber Joe, who’s worked with BBC since 2015, will be joined by BBC Studios’ ‘Top Gear’ exec Sacha Grimsditch as part of the deal, in order to help him set up the company.
Helen O’Donnell, Head of BBC Studios TalentWorks, added: “Joe is a fantastic creator who entertains and delights audiences across a range of platforms including his successful YouTube channel, on screen, as a podcast host and through his writing.
“He’s a creative force, and we’re so pleased that BBC Studios will continue to work with him during the next stage of his career. We can’t wait to support him in bringing his new projects to life.”
Joe is the brother of YouTube sensation Zoe Sugg, also known by her YouTube pseudonym Zoella, and has amassed over 7.7 million subscribers over the last few years.
In 2018, he achieved mainstream status after appearing in BBC’s ‘Strictly’, where he was runner-up alongside his professional partner and now-girlfriend Dianne Buswell.
Last year, Joe made his TV acting debut in BBC One’s drama ‘The Syndicate’.
