We are thrilled to work with A24 in their next phase of growth.”

Neuberger Berman, who represents client funds and co-led a group of investors in the round, added that A24’s authenticity and culture were also a big reason for the deal going through.

It’s truly a privilege to partner with this remarkable management team as they execute on their long-term strategic vision.”

This past summer, it was reported that A24 had been in talks with several different buyers at a price of roughly $3 billion. Ultimately, no deals were made to sell the company.

A24 makes some of the best content on television and in theaters, so it’s only right they reap the benefits.
