Circle of Confusion Television Studios (CTVS) is a joint venture between ITV Studios America and Circle of Confusion. CTVS sources, develops, produces, and finances premium scripted content with global appeal for cable and streaming networks and relies heavily on the adaptation of compelling intellectual property including books, plays, graphic novels, and independent films. Given Circle of Confusion’s genre-related producing credits (THE WALKING DEAD, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, OUTCAST, DIRK GENTLY), CTVS focuses on developing elevated genre-related projects — be it sci-fi, supernatural, or horror — while also looking for fresh ways into existing sub-genres including crime, westerns, and suspense thrillers.

In facing down the glut of new series flooding the marketplace, CTVS’s focus is on subverting expectations, surprising audiences, and challenging the conventions of typical storytelling. Filmmakers, playwrights, and novelists are all sources for new series currently in development, and these fresh, non-traditional television voices are counted on at CTVS to find original ways to create fun and engaging television. With the lean team of a small company and the considerable resources of a large studio, CTVS aims to partner with talented writers, creators, and producers who share a desire to generate entertaining genre-related projects in a unique, left-of-center way.
