Founded in 2008 by Jane Root, former President of Discovery Networks US, Controller of BBC2 and co-founder of Wall to Wall, Nutopia is known for creating ground-breaking factual shows on a global scale. From the company’s inception Nutopia was at the forefront of the industry, creating a new genre of television – the ‘megadoc’ – which combines epic cinematography and action-driven drama with high-end documentary and A list talent. The first of these was the Emmy Award-winning America: Story of US, which gained critical plaudits and record-breaking ratings success. The Story of Us format has sold globally in many international markets. Nutopia has a proven track record of critical achievement including the extraordinary 12-part series Mankind The Story of All of Us for History Channel; landmark Emmy Award-winning series How We Got to Now; and two series of the ratings smash Finding Jesus. Fact. Faith. Forgery for CNN. Recent broadcast successes include The World According to Jeff Goldblum, quirky host-led social history for Disney+; lavish drama-doc The Last Czars for Netflix, which vividly re-tells the story of the downfall of the Romanov dynasty; and epic One Strange Rock for National Geographic, natural history/science collaboration with director Darren Aronofsky, hosted by Will Smith. Currently in production we’re working on Limitless with Chris Hemsworth and season 2 of One Strange Rock for National Geographic, season 2 of The World According to Jeff Goldblum for Disney+, and unannounced premium series for History Channel and Amazon. Other recent credits include Unmasking Jihadi John: Anatomy of a Terrorist (HBO, Channel 4), Jesus: His Life (History), Civilisations (BBC, PBS), The Great American Read (PBS), America: Promised Land (History US), Beyond Reasonable Doubt (CNN), and Africa’s Great Civilisations (PBS).
