The Hollywood Reporter has an exclusive story about former
WWE Superstar Braun Strowman launching his own production
company with Magilla Entertainment titled Meat Castle Media.
The company will run by Adam Scherr (Strowman) and producing
partner Nick Antonicelli.
This new company marks Magilla’s first talent-led production
venture and the two will work together with Magilla chief
development officer Kevin Duncan to create new unscripted
series and formats, as well as podcasts spanning craft,
competition, celebrity interviews and more.
The first Meat Castle series is Hands On, which Scherr tries
his hand at a new unique craft in each episode, diving
headfirst into the skilled professions that power the
American dream. A competition-format show set in the world
of miniature model making is also in the works.
“Nick and I couldn’t be more excited to re-team with Kevin,
and work with the amazing folks at Magilla, to build a real
force in the TV industry that puts talent, groundbreaking
ideas and meaningful partnerships at the forefront,” Scherr
said in a statement. “Magilla’s track record is second to
none and we look forward to working with them to build a
great slate of programming.”
“Adam’s talent, charisma and creativity have led to great
success across multiple areas of entertainment,” Matthew
Ostrom and Laura Palumbo Johnson, co-founders of Magilla
Entertainment, said in a joint statement. “With Meat Castle
Media, we’re working with him and Nick to develop a slate of
projects that reflect Adam’s interests and values, and also
match his larger-than-life presence and personality. It’s
been an exciting start, and we’re eager to bring these first
projects to market.”
Strowman’s series Everything On The Menu with Braun Strowman
returns for a second season on USA Network later this
Summer.
