EXCLUSIVE: Prisoner of Love co-producers Jupiter Entertainment and Two Fifteen West Entertainment have reunited for an overall co-production deal.
They have signed a deal that will see Jupiter working with Two Fifteen West founder Chris Deaux to create, develop and co-produce unscripted programs in the U.S. and internationally. Deaux will work closely with Patrick Reardon, President of Jupiter, on the pact, with an unannounced cable network project already underway. Further details on that show remain under wraps.
Jupiter and Two Fifteen West previously teamed on Discovery+ reality series Prisoner of Love and true crime show Finding Andrea.
“Reuniting with Jupiter Entertainment feels like a homecoming,” said Deaux. “The synergy we’ve shared in the past has led to some of my proudest achievements, and I’m confident that this renewed partnership will allow us to push the creative boundaries even further to engage viewers on a deeper level.”

“Chris has a remarkable talent for identifying compelling stories and turning them into successful shows,” said Reardon. “Having Chris in Jupiter’s orbit rekindles a winning formula and gives us momentum to build toward the company’s next chapter.”
For Sky Studios-owned Jupiter, the pact comes during a period it has launched the likes of Homicide Hunter and The Man with No Face for Discovery+ and TV One for Fatal Attraction. The company is known for shows such as Peacock’s Emmy-nominated miniseries Who Killed Robert Wone? and Oxygen returner Snapped.
