Entertainment One, also known as eOne and Lionsgate Canada, is a privately owned multinational entertainment studio headquartered in Canada, operating as part of Lionsgate. Founded in 1970 with approximately 1100 employees, the company specializes in content rights, encompassing global acquisition, production, and distribution across film and television. Its historical operations, which included a transition into a multi-sector media giant, saw its extensive non-kids entertainment assets sold to Lionsgate in late 2023 for approximately $375 million, following a 2019 acquisition by American toy manufacturer Hasbro. Operating within its restructured framework under Lionsgate Studios, the company manages an extensive library of intellectual properties (IP), including Rookie Blue, Yellowjackets, The Rookie, Designated Survivor, and Cardinal.
Owners of *Peppa Pig* secured an unusually broad international injunction from the High Court of England & Wales against the animated series *Wolfoo* on August 25, 2026, after findings that *Wolfoo* infringed copyright in *Peppa Pig* sound recordings, including character dialogue and sound effects. This follows news from May 2026 that a sequel to the cinematic adaptation of *Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark* remains stalled due to copyright ownership issues, more than six years after director André Øvredal and producer Guillermo del Toro were announced to return, with Øvredal confirming the film is stuck in "rights limbo." Earlier in February 2026, *Peppa Pig* introduced a new storyline revealing character George Pig is moderately deaf and would wear a hearing aid. This inclusive move, developed with community input, portrays George using a device to help his condition, aiming to represent diverse children and families.
