Beyond International Limited is an international television and film production company with operations in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. The company is involved in the creation and international distribution of television, feature films and ancillary products. The company has an extensive television program catalogue of over 5,000 hours and covers all genres including drama, feature films, comedy, children's, reality, and documentary programs.[2]

The company was formed in 1984 to produce the science and technology magazine program Beyond 2000, a commercial reworking of the program Towards 2000 which aired on the Australian public broadcaster ABC. Beyond 2000 was later rebooted in 2005 as Beyond Tomorrow.

Other notable programming produced and/or distributed by Beyond include MythBusters, Deadly Women, Beat Bugs and Highway Thru Hell (most of which is now owned by Banijay).
