Overview
Two Brothers Pictures is a British television production company established in 2014 by brothers Harry Williams and Jack Williams. The company develops and produces scripted television, particularly drama, thriller, mystery and comedy projects for British broadcasters, streaming services and international partners. Its launch project was The Missing, a BBC One mystery drama that established the company as a producer of high-profile, internationally marketable scripted series. The programme received major award recognition, including nominations at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Emmys, and won several international and British television awards. The company expanded its profile in 2016 with Fleabag, created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starring Waller-Bridge in the title role. Initially broadcast through BBC Three and distributed through Amazon, the comedy became one of Two Brothers Pictures' most acclaimed productions. Its first series won or received recognition from a wide range of organisations, including the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the Royal Television Society, the Writers' Guild of Great Britain, Broadcast, the British Press Guild and NME. Fleabag demonstrated the company's ability to work across genres and to support distinctive, creator-led television. Two Brothers Pictures' other productions have included the ITV thriller Liar, the international conspiracy thriller Strangers, originally developed under the title White Dragon, and the ITV dramas Cheat and The Widow. Its BBC-related projects have included Rellik and Baptiste, the latter connected to the investigative character introduced in The Missing. The company also produced The Tourist, an international drama released through Stan and BBC One, further reflecting its focus on projects designed for cross-border audiences and multi-platform distribution. Operationally, Claire Evans joined the company as chief operating officer in 2016. In 2017, Two Brothers Pictures became part of the All3Media Group, giving it access to the resources and international distribution infrastructure of one of the United Kingdom's major independent television groups while retaining its identity as a specialist production label. Later leadership changes included Sarah Hammond moving from executive producer to chief creative officer and Latif taking on the chief operating officer role; the available reference material does not specify Latif's first name. The company's later development has included genre projects for global platforms. The Assassin was released for Amazon in 2025, with a second season reported as ordered for 2026 and Harry and Jack Williams returning as executive producers. A six-part drama titled Maya was reported for Channel 4 and Starz, starring Daisy Haggard and Bella Ramsey. Two Brothers Pictures has also been associated with the television adaptation of the British video game Atomfall, developed as a co-production with Rebellion, and with the action-comedy Danger Money for Prime Video. These projects indicate an ongoing strategy of combining original scripted concepts, adaptations and international co-productions. Two Brothers Pictures remains an active All3Media production company whose brand is associated with premium British scripted television, strong writer-producer relationships and formats intended for international distribution.
History
Two Brothers Pictures was founded in 2014 by brothers Harry Williams and Jack Williams as a British television production company. Its first major project was The Missing, a BBC One mystery drama centred on the investigation of a missing child. The series established the new company within the premium scripted-television market and attracted significant awards attention. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, four BAFTAs and two Emmys, while also winning two Nymph d'Or awards and recognition from the Bulldog and British Press Guild awards. The company broadened its range in 2016 with Fleabag, a comedy created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also played the lead role. The programme was launched through BBC Three and Amazon. Its first series received an unusually broad collection of critical and industry honours, including awards or recognition from BAFTA, Televisual, the Writers Guild of Great Britain, the Royal Television Society, Chortle, the British Press Guild, Broadcast and NME. Fleabag gave Two Brothers Pictures a prominent position in contemporary British comedy as well as demonstrating its interest in distinctive writers and performers. During the same period, Claire Evans joined as chief operating officer. The company continued developing projects across drama, thriller and comedy, producing Liar and Cheat for ITV, as well as The Widow and the conspiracy thriller Strangers, which was initially developed under the title White Dragon. Its connection with The Missing continued through Rellik and Baptiste, with Baptiste focusing on the detective character associated with the earlier series. The Tourist, made for Stan and BBC One, extended the company's work into internationally oriented drama. In 2017, Two Brothers Pictures joined All3Media Group. The transaction placed the company within a larger group of independent production labels and gave it access to broader commercial, production and international-distribution capabilities. The label nevertheless continued to operate under the Two Brothers Pictures name and maintained its emphasis on authored scripted programming. The company's subsequent development moved further toward global platforms, genre entertainment and adaptations. The Assassin was released for Amazon in 2025. A second season was reported as ordered for 2026, with Harry and Jack Williams returning as executive producers. The company was also associated with Maya, a six-part drama planned for Channel 4 and Starz, and with an adaptation of the British video game Atomfall, developed in partnership with Rebellion and written by the Williams brothers. Another reported project, the action-comedy Danger Money, was set for Prime Video. In 2026, Sarah Hammond was reported to have become chief creative officer after serving as an executive producer, while Latif moved into the chief operating officer position. These changes indicated a broadening of the company's senior creative and operational structure as it managed a slate spanning British broadcasters, international partners and streaming services. Two Brothers Pictures remains an active All3Media production company known for high-profile scripted series, creator-led comedy, suspense drama and projects designed for international distribution.
