Jay Shetty Launches TV & Film Venture

Jay Shetty has launched Perfect Strangers Media, a new production company focused on film, television, and podcasts. The venture's core mission is to produce content that highlights universal human connection, aiming to make audiences feel less alone. "Perfect Strangers is the home for stories that show how connected we already are," the company stated.

Perfect Strangers has already established a significant presence by closing deals with Netflix for two series, one scripted and one unscripted, though specific details remain undisclosed. The company is actively developing a diverse slate of film and television projects.

Shetty, a former Hindu monk and a popular podcast host, seeks to broaden his impact beyond his widely successful "On Purpose" podcast. His new company's podcast arm will feature "honest conversations" with various notable figures, fostering a sense of shared experience. The leadership team includes Joe Hooten as head of film and TV and Nicole Berg as creative director.

Shetty's previous ventures include the bestseller "Think Like a Monk" and "8 Rules of Love," reflecting his dedication to making wisdom accessible and addressing modern life's challenges. Perfect Strangers Media marks an expansion of his vision to foster health, happiness, and healing through storytelling.
