Funding momentum Great Southern Studios recently secured NZ On Air funding of up to NZ$3.22 million for eight new episodes and additional funding commitments from Warner Bros. International Television Production New Zealand for eight more investigations, signaling strong financial support and scalable production capacity for expansive projects.

Global partnerships With a track record producing for major international platforms and broadcasters (BBC, Netflix, Discovery, ABC, History Channel, AMC, Sundance Now, Foxtel, Sky, TVNZ, ESPN) and representation by WME, GSS is well positioned to leverage co-productions, format sales, and distribution deals across regions.

Award-winning slate Recent NZ TV Awards wins across multiple categories including Best Drama Series and Best Reality TV Format, along with recognition for Māori programming, strengthen the company’s credibility for premium content pipelines and endorsement by buyers seeking high-quality, culturally resonant productions.

Content growth plan A diverse production portfolio spanning drama, reality, current affairs, and docu-series (notably The Casketeers) indicates opportunities to pitch genre-spanning formats to multi-network buyers and streaming platforms seeking varied and global appeal.

Strategic collaborations Recent collaborations such as the Oble partnership on The Ridge and ongoing development of high-profile projects position GSS as a collaboration-ready supplier; this creates openings for white-label, development financing, or joint-venture deals with international producers and distributors.
