Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, the production entity behind shows such as ‘Big Little Lies,’ has been acquired by a newly formed media company launched by former Walt Disney Co executives.
Witherspoon’s company on Monday said it received a majority investment from the firm formed by ex-Disney executives Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs and private equity giant Blackstone. The deal values Hello Sunshine at more than $900 million (Dh3.3 billion), according to a person close to the company who was not authorised to comment.
The deal is the latest sign of the thirst for content in Hollywood amid the growth of streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu, competing for viewers’ attention.
