About

Run by Belinda Campbell and Alex Jones, we are a well-established and well-renowned hub of creativity, producing innovative and engaging shows, which resonate with critics and are adored by viewers across the world.

Launched in 2006, by multi award-winning writer Tony Jordan, captivating storytelling is our passion. From intriguing adaptations to pioneering originals, we’ve gained global reach and a reputation for producing compelling and much-loved dramas, working with established and emerging talent. Our diverse slate includes some of the UK’s most successful, original and recognised shows for major broadcasters, spanning a range of genres. In 2024, Fremantle, one of the world’s leading creators and distributors of entertainment content, acquired a majority stake in Red Planet Pictures through its acquisition of Asacha Media. While continuing to operate independently and retain our unique creative identity, this partnership strengthens our ability to develop premium drama that travels, collaborate with global talent, and scale up production in a rapidly evolving market.

Recent hit shows include BBC One crime drama, Death in Paradise, and its two successful spin-off series Beyond Paradise and Return to Paradise, the third series of Jane Austen’s Sanditon and literary thriller Our House. Plus, Dickensian, The Ark, Babs, The Passing Bells, and Sky One’s action-adventure, Hooten & The Lady. Most recently, Red Planet Pictures announced a co-production deal with Broadchurch creator, Chris Chibnall’s Imaginary Friends Productions to produce an adaptation of his debut novel, Death at the White Hart, for ITV.

Red Planet Pictures is fully committed to providing an inclusive, safe and supportive working environment on all our shows and adopting the best industry safeguarding practices. We are determined to help inspire positive change by listening, engaging, and educating.
