Asacha Media Group, the Paris-based company launched in April 2020 by veteran media entrepreneurs, has acquired the French scripted production group Kabo Family. The outfit regroups 10 banners with credits including the long-running hit daily show “Scenes de Menages” and the Amazon Prime’s original series “Mixte.”
Asacha Media Group was co-founded by media entrepreneurs Gaspard de Chavagnac and Marina Williams, who lead the group as co-CEOs, and Marc-Antoine d’Halluin, who is vice chairman of the supervisory board.
The deal for Kabo Family marks the Asacha Media Group’s sixth acquisition since bowing 16 months ago with the backing of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LP. The company previously acquired the Italian production houses Picomedia and Stand By Me, as well as the French production company Mintee Studio, and the U.K. production and distribution outfit Wag Entertainment and leading U.K. drama producer Red Planet Pictures.
