David Davoli, Anonymous Content’s President of International, will oversee the joint venture alongside Brouhaha’ Entertainment’s Troy Lum, Andrew Mason and Gabrielle Tana.
“With the recent success we had making Boy Swallows Universe with Brouhaha, it only made sense to explore a larger partnership with Troy and the Brouhaha team”, said Davoli. “Australia and New Zealand have incredible artists and world class incentives, which is the perfect alchemy for making premium content. As global streamers are prioritizing the territory, the opportunity to have Troy and Brouhaha as part of our portfolio of international joint ventures felt right at this time.”

It’s so exciting to be partnering with them on this new venture”, said Lum. “Brouhaha is deeply connected to its roots and we believe that there is untapped potential here in Australia and New Zealand with its incredible resources and talent base. A strategic alliance with a global force such as Anonymous will enable and empower this potential in the years to come.”
The first project stemming from the joint venture will be the sci-fi thriller Panopticon. A TV series written by Australian showrunner and director Craig Rosenberg, Executive Producer on Amazon’s hits THE BOYS and GEN V, and creator and Executive Producer of Peacock’s dark comedy hit, BASED ON A TRUE STORY starring Kaley Cuoco.
