History
Endeavor Content
Endeavor Content was formed in October 2017 from the WME-IMG's film financing and scripted TV sales units, WME's advisory group for film financiers and content producers, and international sales company Bloom, which continued to operate autonomously until 2018, when it was fully integrated into Endeavor Content. In 2022, Endeavor Content was spun out of Endeavor.
Sale to CJ ENM and rebranding to Fifth Season
In September 2022, Endeavor Content officially changed its name to Fifth Season as part of a company rebranding initiative, primarily aimed at establishing a distinctive identity separate from its former parent company Endeavor. The rebranding occurred following the acquisition of an 80% stake in Endeavor Content for $785 million by CJ ENM, a Korean studio. CJ ENM currently holds a majority stake in Fifth Season, with Endeavor retaining a 20% stake. The name Fifth Season is derived from Eastern medicine, which recognizes an extra fifth season as a celebratory time of harvest in late summer. The company is run by co-CEOs Graham Taylor and Chris Rice.
In December 2023, Toho announced its intent to acquire a 25% stake in Fifth Season through its U.S. subsidiary Toho International for $225 million. The deal, once completed, will value the company at $900 million. Taylor and Rice stated that this deal would allow the company to continue expanding its offerings and create opportunities to work with Toho and CJ ENM on both Japanese and global content.
