Brad Pitt’s production company launches European production division

Based in London, Plan B Europe is headed by British Producer and Executive Ed Macdonald. Macdonald joins from Clerkenwell Films, where he worked on The End of the F***ing World and Baby Reindeer. 

Plan B said its new European base will particularly focus on the production of premium series in the UK and across Europe.  

Plan B’s recent releases include films F1, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Nickel Boys, and Mickey 17, as well as television series Adolescence, Three Body Problem, and Lego Masters.  

Plan B is part of the European production and distribution group Mediawan. 

Explaining the choice of the UK as its European base, Plan B cited the “UK’s unique position as a bridge between the American and European industries and as one of Europe’s most attractive hubs for film and TV funding.” 

Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, Plan B’s leadership team, commented: “We are thrilled to expand Plan B’s footprint in Europe by bringing Ed Macdonald on board. Building on our artistic ambition, we’re excited to deepen our commitment to premium television and to explore new creative partnerships across the UK and Europe. With Ed’s exceptional track record and the support of Mediawan group, we look forward to captivating audiences around the world with ambitious new series.” 

Macdonald added: “I’ve long admired Brad, Dede and Jeremy’s instinct for eclectic, resonant stories. I look forward to working alongside them to establish the company’s European division, with the support of Mediawan and their nurturing, producer-led ethos. I can’t wait to start this new chapter, to build upon Plan B’s legacy and to keep doing what I love – making vivid, high-quality television with the most talented storytellers in the world.”
