History
Silvergate Media was created in 2011 as part of a management buy-out, when Alli purchased the rights to The Octonauts and The World of Beatrix Potter from Chorion, a company he was previously chair of.[1]
The company has signed a deal with Netflix, in collaboration with Mercury Filmworks to produce Hilda, an animated television adaptation of comic Hilda by Luke Pearson, which was released on September 21, 2018.[2][3]
Silvergate also produced Sunny Day for Nickelodeon, which started airing on August 21, 2017.[4]
In 2016, the investment fund Shamrock Capital Advisors acquired a 51% equity of the company,[5] with the valuation reported to be "between £70 and £80 million".[6]
On December 10, 2019, Sony Pictures Television announced that it would acquire Silvergate Media for US$175 million. The deal marks SPT's first in-house studio devoted primarily to children's animation since Adelaide Productions, which went dormant shortly after production on the adult-oriented series The Boondocks ended in 2014.[7]
