Fremantle has taken full ownership of Abot Hameiri, the Israeli production company behind international drama hit “Shtisel” and original formats “Power Couple” and “Hear Me, Love Me, See Me.”
Abot Hameiri is also the Israeli producer for global formats such as “Got Talent,” “Survivor” and “The X Factor.” The latter will return on Reshet 13 this summer with Simon Cowell as a judge – the first time “The X Factor’s” creator has served as a judge in a country outside of the U.S. and the U.K.
Fremantle is upping the 51% stake that it acquired in Abot Hameiri in 2016 to buy 100% of the Tel Aviv- based company, which was founded in 2006 and is headed by Eitan Abot and Guy Hameiri.
“It’s been a terrific five years together,” Hameiri told Variety. “Acquiring 100% is proof of Fremantle’s belief in the company, and that the company is far from reaching its potential.

BBC America has set a U.S. premiere date for the salvaged “Doctor Who” serial “Fury From the Deep,” AMC Networks announced Wednesday.
The six animated episodes were produced by BBC Studios last year using audio tracks from the original installments starring Patrick Troughton as The Doctor.
