Plan B Entertainment, the production outfit co-founded by Brad Pitt, is to launch a European arm with Baby Reindeer and End of the F*cking World producer, Ed Macdonald, at the helm.
Macdonald joins from Clerkenwell Films.
Plan B is led by Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner and has been part of the Mediawan group since 2022. The company has produced films including the recent Pitt-starrer, F1: The Movie for Apple and was co producer on recent Netflix hit, Adolescence. It was also producer on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Nickel Boys and Mickey 17.
Plan B’s leadership team, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, said: “We are thrilled to expand Plan B’s footprint in Europe by bringing Ed Macdonald on board. Building on our artistic ambition, we’re excited to deepen our commitment to premium television and to explore new creative partnerships across the UK and Europe. With Ed’s exceptional track record and the support of Mediawan group, we look forward to captivating audiences around the world with ambitious new series.”
Ed Macdonald said: “I have loved my years at Clerkenwell — I’m grateful for the friendships forged and deeply proud of the work we’ve made together. But it’s with huge excitement that I’m now joining the Plan B family. I’ve long admired Brad, Dede and Jeremy’s instinct for eclectic, resonant stories. I look forward to working alongside them to establish the company’s European division, with the support of Mediawan and their nurturing, producer-led ethos. I can’t wait to start this new chapter, to build upon Plan B’s legacy and to keep doing what I love — making vivid, high-quality television with the most talented storytellers in the world.”
