In an exciting new development, Banijay U.K. has made an investment in Immovable Studios, the production company co-founded by renowned hip-hop artist, author, and entrepreneur Akala, along with his business partner and manager Chanelle Newman.
A Promising Collaboration
As part of this collaboration, Immovable Studios will also enjoy a first-look distribution agreement with Banijay Rights. Chanelle Newman, who heads the studio’s television production arm, has already overseen successful projects such as “Poetry: Between the Lines” and “Akala’s Odyssey.”

Banijay U.K. CEO Patrick Holland expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership, saying, “Akala is an extraordinary talent, a creative force whose books ‘Natives’ and ‘The Dark Lady’ have reimagined stories from our shared histories. We are delighted to announce this investment in Akala and Chanelle’s production company and look forward to partnering on the unique slate of projects they have been developing.”
Exploring New Frontiers

With television offering endless possibilities for storytelling, Akala is excited to further delve into this medium and continue doing what he loves most.
