Founded as Asylum Entertainment in 2003 by Steve Michaels,[3] Legendary Entertainment purchased the company for $100 million in 2013.[4]
In 2018, Michaels bought the company back and re-launched it as The Content Group.[5]
In 2019, Michaels restored the Asylum Entertainment brand forming new parent company, Asylum Entertainment Group LLC.[6] That year, the company partnered with veteran executive producer Lori Rothschild Ansaldi to launch Big City TV and also launched audio division Audity.[7]
In 2020, Asylum Entertainment Group acquired Dance Moms' producer Collins Avenue Entertainment from Kew Media[8] and launched Breaklight Pictures with veteran producer Dan Johnstone.[9]
In 2022, they acquired Texas Crew Productions.[10]
In 2023, the company bought a stake in the UK producer Moon&Back Media[11] and secured first-look production deals with The New York Post[12] and Comandante Productions, led by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello.[13]
In 2023, Endeavor purchased a majority stake in the company.[14]
In early 2024, the company announced a series of new partnerships and acquisitions including a partnership with director Scott Weintrob's Large Eyes Entertainment[15] an investment in UK-based production company Soho Studios Entertainment,[16] an acquired stake in British production company, DARE Entertainment,[17] a minority stake in independent production house Ladywell Films—founded by The Tinder Swindler filmmakers Bernadette Higgins and Felicity Morris—[18] as well as a joint venture with Tyler Perry Studios.[19]
At the end of July 2024, Asylum Entertainment Group announced that they also acquired a significant stake in British-American live and unscripted production company Done and Dusted.[20]
In addition, in December 2024, Asylum Entertainment Group announced that they had rebranded as Pantheon Media Group, hiring veteran unscripted executive producer Jennifer O’Connell as their new CEO with founder Steven Michaels becoming chairman of the rebranded company.[21]
