Background

[edit]

Muse's production arm, Muse Entertainment Enterprises, produces films and television series for a wide variety of audiences. Its distribution arm, Muse Distribution International, delivers films and television series to broadcasters, cable networks, streaming services, and other distributors globally.

Muse is one of the most active film and television production companies in the world for internationally co-produced projects.[2][3]

Under Canada's official film production treaties, Muse has co-produced projects in many countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Romania, Hungary, Morocco, Australia, and South Africa.

Muse continues to have a large volume of projects on television networks across the USA since its Los Angeles expansion in 2007.

The company garnered significant attention in 2011 for its production of the multi-Emmy-winning and nominated miniseries The Kennedys, in association with Asylum Entertainment.[2][3][4]
