Welcome to Earth producer Nutopia has struck a deal with former Travel Channel and BBC Productions boss Pat Younge to develop a slate of global TV franchises with a focus on diversity and inclusion.
Younge and Nutopia will forge shows “rooted in the stories and perspectives of the African and Asian diaspora.”
The strategic collaboration reunites Younge with Nutopia Founder Jane Root, with the two having worked together at the BBC and then Discovery Communications in the U.S.
Younge is widely credited with leading a turnaround at the Travel Channel, having introduced the likes of Man v Food and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations to the world.
