Keller and Noll said: “We create shows that are universal, format-able and global.

“eOne is recognised for its excellence both in the US and internationally, and we are thrilled to unite with their amazing team.”

It’s very exciting to foster more and more innovative content through close collaboration with inspiring creative partners.”

Keller and Noll created Chopped and other series while working at IAC-backed prodco Notional.
