Newen Studios (formerly known as Newen) is a French television production company, the producers of such shows as Versailles, Braquo, and Plus belle la vie.

In November 2015, TF1, France's leading television network, bought a 70% share of Fabrice Larue's FLCP, the holding company of Newen.[1][2]

Newen is the second-largest producer of drama in France. It owns Telfrance, Agence CAPA, Be Aware and 17 juin Me, with Telfrance producing the soap, Plus belle la vie.[1]

Capa is the producer of Braquo and Versailles.[1]

In May 2017, Newen Group launched a €50 million investment fund focused on acquiring British drama.[3] In 2018, it was announced that Newen had acquired a 60% equity interest in production outfit, Punkin, through Tuvalu Media Group. It was also announced that Newen acquired a 33% equity stake in production outfit, Nimbus.[4] Newen would continue its acquisition run with the July 2019 acquisition of a majority stake in Canadian production outfit Reel One Entertainment.[5]
