'''Endemol B.V.''' (stylized in [[all lowercase]]) was a Dutch-based media company that produced and distributed multiplatform entertainment content. The company annually produced more than 15,000 hours of programming across scripted and non-scripted genres, including drama, [[reality TV]], comedy, game shows, entertainment, factual and children's programming.

Endemol, a global network of operations in more than 30 countries, worked with over 300 broadcasters, digital platforms and licensees worldwide. The business covered development, production, marketing, distribution, franchise management and multi-platform initiatives including digital video, gaming and apps.

Endemol was merged with [[Shine Group]] to form [[Endemol Shine Group]] (a joint-venture between [[The Walt Disney Company]] and [[Apollo Global Management]]) and headquartered in the Netherlands in 2015. Since the merger, Endemol is an in-name-only unit of Endemol Shine Group, and in the next years, Endemol's iconic eye logo was replaced with Endemol Shine Group's wordmark-only logo in the closing credits of most of the shows that it licensed. Endemol created and ran reality, talent and game show franchises worldwide, including ''[[Big Brother (TV series)|Big Brother]]'', ''[[Deal or No Deal]]'', ''[[Fear Factor (franchise)|Fear Factor]]'', ''[[Wipeout (2008 American game show)|Wipeout]]'', ''[[The Million Pound Drop|The Money Drop]]'', ''[[Family Feud]]'', and ''[[Your Face Sounds Familiar]]''. The company also has a portfolio of drama and comedy series including titles such as ''[[The Fall (TV series)|The Fall]]'', ''[[Peaky Blinders (TV series)|Peaky Blinders]]'', ''[[Hell on Wheels (TV series)|Hell on Wheels]]'', ''[[Benidorm (British TV series)|Benidorm]]'', ''[[Ripper Street]]'', ''[[Black Mirror]]'', ''[[Bad Education (TV series)|Bad Education]]'', ''[[My Mad Fat Diary]]'', ''[[Hot in Cleveland]]'', ''[[Kirstie (TV series)|Kirstie]]'', ''[[Leverage (American TV series)|Leverage]]'', ''[[Home and Away]]'', ''[[Death Comes to Pemberley (TV series)|Death Comes to Pemberley]]'' and ''[[The Crimson Field]]''.
