Apple Tree Productions to Shut Down After Difficult Market
10 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Apple Tree Productions will cease operations by the end of 2026.
- Founders cite increasingly difficult market conditions in Denmark.
- ITV Studios has been a key supporter since the company's 2017 launch.
Apple Tree Productions, a prominent Danish television production company, has announced it will cease operations by the end of 2026. The founders, Piv Bernth and Lars Hermann, attribute this decision to the "increasingly difficult" market conditions prevalent in Denmark, making it challenging to maintain an economically viable business.
Launched in 2017 with financial backing from ITV Studios, Apple Tree Productions has since produced several notable series for platforms like Netflix, TV2 Denmark, and SVT. The company's final projects will be the drama series 'Rivals' and 'The Best of Families,' after which it will no longer pursue new developments or productions.
Bernth and Hermann expressed pride in their delivered work and gratitude for the support from ITV Studios. In response, Lisa Perrin of ITV Studios acknowledged Apple Tree's high-quality productions and wished the team success for their future endeavors. ITV Studios will continue to manage international distribution for Apple Tree's existing catalogue.
