Brillstein Entertainment Partners is looking to “fuel the momentum” of its production company after striking a first-look deal with Paramount Television Studios.
The management company’s production banner Brillstein Creative Partners will co-develop and co-produce scripted series for Paramount+, Showtime and CBS as part of the multi-year deal.
It comes after Deadline revealed earlier this year that the company, launched by Bernie Brillstein, was exploring a sale with Casey Wasserman one of the frontrunners.
