Veteran scripted executive Jason Simms has announced the launch of his new television drama company, Fusebox Entertainment, ahead of the MIPCOM market in Cannes.

Fusebox Entertainment is headquartered in London and will officially debut during the week of the MIPCOM market, the industry’s largest television market held annually in Cannes. The new venture will focus on developing and producing scripted drama series for global audiences, drawing on Simms’s extensive experience in the genre.

The company has already secured consultancy partnerships across Europe and the United States, positioning itself as a bridge between creators and broadcasters in key territories. In addition, co‑production and development agreements are in place with Fifth Season‑backed Cosmopolitan and other unnamed partners, giving Fusebox immediate access to a pipeline of projects and distribution channels.

Simms’s move comes at a time when the drama market is expanding, with streaming platforms and traditional broadcasters seeking fresh, high‑quality content. By combining his industry clout with a network of international collaborators, Fusebox Entertainment aims to deliver compelling narratives that resonate across borders. The company is set to begin its first production slate in the coming months, targeting both UK and international releases.
