Silverback Films is a Bristol-based British natural history production company owned by Banijay UK.

History

Silverback Films was founded in 2012 by wildlife filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey,[1] who are known for producing wildlife documentaries and series in partnership with major broadcasters like Netflix, the BBC, and Disney.[2]

In December 2020, Silverback Films launched its feature film production division, Studio Silverback, to focus solely on films that tackle the world’s pressing environmental challenges. This would be led by co-founders Fothergill and Scholey, along with Jonnie Hughes and Colin Butfield.[3][4]

At the start of November 2022, Silverback Films formed a partnership with Steven Spielberg's American entertainment company Amblin Partners via its television production division of Amblin Television, and later under its documentary arm Amblin Documentaries, to produce a series of natural history docuseries for Netflix. The series started with the nature documentary miniseries Life on Our Planet, produced by Silverback Films and Amblin Television and released in 2023 [5][6]
