Sale to CJ ENM and rebrand to Fifth Season

In September 2022, Endeavor Content officially changed its name to Fifth Season as part of a company rebranding initiative, primarily aimed at establishing a distinctive identity separate from its former parent company Endeavor. The rebranding occurred following the acquisition of an 80% stake in Endeavor Content for $785 million by CJ ENM, a Korean studio. CJ ENM currently holds a majority stake in Fifth Season, with Endeavor retaining a 20% stake. The name Fifth Season is derived from Eastern medicine, which recognizes an extra fifth season as a celebratory time of harvest in late summer. The company is run by co-CEOs Graham Taylor and Chris Rice. In December 2023, Toho announced its intent to acquire a 25% stake in Fifth Season through its U.S. subsidiary Toho International for $225 million. The deal, once completed, will value the company at $900 million. Taylor and Rice stated that this deal would empower the company to continue expansion of its slate of premium content and create opportunities for collaboration with Toho and CJ ENM on global as well as Japanese content.
