Exclusive: A round of layoffs has taken place at Banijay-owned MythBusters firm Beyond Productions in Australia and the U.S.
Deadline understands around two-dozen people have lost jobs across the production arm’s Sydney and LA sites, after the UK hub was shuttered several weeks ago.
The move comes almost exactly a year after Banijay bought decades-old firm Beyond International in a deal worth more than $30M, via what was described as a Scheme Implementation Deed.
“Banijay can confirm a number of redundancies have been implemented across the Beyond International production footprint,” a spokeswoman told Deadline. “The changes form part of the group’s overall reorganisation of the business following its acquisition earlier this year. No productions will be affected in the process.”
The layoffs comprise a sizeable chunk of Beyond Productions’ overall footprint. Overseen by President John Luscombe, the company launched in 1984 and has made the likes of long-running Discovery franchise Mythbusters,...

Beyond International has acquired the UK arm of Seven West Media’s Seven Studios and Swm’s 51 per cent stake in Los Angeles-based 7Beyond.
Both Seven Studios UK, headed by Damon Pattison, and 7Beyond will be re-branded as Beyond Productions and will report to John Luscombe, Beyond Productions’ general manager and exec VP.
As part of the deal, Beyond gets the international format rights to Pooch Perfect and the UK and Australian versions.
Striving to reduce Swm’s debt of more than $540 million, in February CEO James Warburton appointed investment bank Morgan Stanley to conduct a strategic review of Seven Studios after receiving a number of “partnership inquiries.”
Warburton said on Thursday: “As part of our ongoing transformation, we’ve reassessed our appetite for investment in offshore production interests and have elected to divest Seven Studios UK and our interest in the 7Beyond Jv.

Sydney-based production company Beyond Productions have secured an Emmy nomination for program MythBusters in the Outstanding Reality Program category.
The nomination is the company’s third in as many years for the category. Last year it was beaten by Jamie’s Food Revolution and before that Intervention, a show about interventions.
