Lionsgate-owned production firm Pilgrim Media Group has inked an exclusive unscripted deal with Sean Perry’s recently launched prodco 2500 Media.

Under the agreement, 2500 Media will immediately plug into the worldwide development and production staff at Pilgrim, while the pact includes a first-look scripted component with Lionsgate Television.

“When I looked around at ways to super charge my new company 2500 Media and deliver high quality production at a reasonable cost, it was clear that locking arms with Lionsgate and Pilgrim was the best and fastest way to accomplish our goals,” said Perry. “When you see what Kevin Beggs, Sandra Stern and their team have accomplished across Lionsgate Television and my good friend Craig Piligian has built with Pilgrim, it was a no brainer to dive in fully with them.”

2500 Media focuses on producing unscripted series, documentaries and scripted projects. Industry veteran Perry, 2500 Media founder and CEO, previously founded the non-scripted department at Endeavor and played a major role in growing companies including Original Productions, Eureka and WWE.

“Sean has been a longtime supporter of Lionsgate and Pilgrim and he is a true leader in unscripted television,” said Lionsgate Television Group chairman & CCO Kevin Beggs. “We look forward to collaborating with the 2500 Media team to deliver a robust content slate.”
