About

Run by Belinda Campbell and Alex Jones, Red Planet Pictures is one of the UK’s leading drama production companies recognised for delivering bold, high-quality and distinctive scripted content across a range of genres. Established in 2006 by award winning writer and showrunner Tony Jordan, we pride ourselves in working with the very best creatives to produce extraordinary content that entertains and endures.

Our output spans a range of acclaimed dramas, including the long-running global hit Death in Paradise and its spin-offs Beyond Paradise and Return to Paradise, the Austen-inspired series Sanditon, the innovative literary ensemble Dickensian, action-adventure Hooten and The Lady and the contemporary thriller Our House. Most recently, we announced Death at The White Hart, further consolidating our reputation for creating returnable drama with wide appeal.

At the heart of our work is a focus on emotionally engaging narratives, original voices, and ambitious stories that resonate both domestically and internationally.

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.

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.
