Funding momentum Great Southern Studios has recent NZ On Air funding of 3.22 million NZD for eight new episodes and additional support from Warner Bros. International Television Production NZ, signaling strong financial backing and increased production capacity ripe for co-financed deals or licensing opportunities.

Global content footprint With a proven track record across major broadcasters and platforms (BBC, Netflix, Discovery, ABC, History, AMC, Sundance, Foxtel, TVNZ, Sky, Facebook, ESPN) and Netflix’s hit The Casketeers, GSS is an attractive partner for international co-productions, format sales, and distribution deals.

Award winning credibility Recent NZ TV Award wins including Best Drama Series and Best Reality TV Format, plus recognition for Māori programming, bolster GSS's appeal for premium collaborations, funding pitches, and exclusive development partnerships.

Expansion potential GSS operates with a lean team (11-50 employees) but is actively expanding through high-profile series and international partnerships, presenting opportunities for mid-scale deals, new genre commissions, and talent-driven collaborations.

Content slate leverage A diversified portfolio spanning drama, reality, current affairs, and docu-series (One Lane Bridge, The Casketeers, NZ Wars: Stories of Waitara) creates multiple entry points for sales teams to pitch to broadcasters and streaming platforms seeking varied formats and global reach.
