Julian Bellamy, Managing Director ITV Studios, said: The success of ITV Studios, first and foremost, flows from its talent and its creativity. Great talent, developing and producing great shows in the right culture, is the first foundation stone on which everything else is built.
We have all of these qualities and 2018 is a great example of that - Bodyguard, the highest rating drama in the UK, Love Island tripled the number of countries it is in in just one year and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, created by ITV Studios Entertainment, which became the most watched launch show of the year.
Our vision, as part of ITV's More than TV strategy, is to be a world class creative force in global content production as the demand for quality programmes continues to grow.
We take a step closer to fulfilling this ambition as we head into 2019 with a catalogue of over 40,000 hours; the highest number of new dramas due to be delivered and more entertainment shows in new territories than ever before.
