About Us
44 Blue’s authentic brand of storytelling has had a major influence on the nonfiction television landscape for over three decades across broadcast, streaming, cable, first-run syndication, and digital platforms. In 2022, the Emmy, GLAAD, and Peabody Award-winning producers joined The North Road Company, a global multi-genre film and TV studio that includes Chernin Entertainment (Ford v Ferrari, New Girl) and Words + Pictures (The ESPYs).
44 Blue is known for having one of the industry’s deepest slates of celeb-reality programming with A-list partners, including successful series with Mark Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy (A&E’s twice Emmy®-nominated “Wahlburgers” and “Donnie Loves Jenny”), Whoopi Goldberg (Oxygen’s “Strut” and BET/Centric’s “According to Alex”), Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions (HBO’s “Rock and a Hard Place” and Fuse’s “Clash of the Corps”), Chloe Grace Moretz (Snap’s award-winning “Coming Out”), Jay Ellis (“All the Single Ladies” for OWN), Khloe Kardashian (ID’s “Twisted Sisters” and “Twisted Love”), and legendary producer Dick Wolf (NBC's "LA Fire & Rescue" and A&E's upcoming "Nightwatch: NOLA Homicide").
44 Blue’s slate also includes Netflix’s breakout hits “Jailbirds” and “Life After Death with Tyler Henry,” A&E’s top-rated “Nightwatch” and Fox’s “First Responders Live," both produced in association with Dick Wolf, Oxygen's "Sin City Murders" and franchise builder "Real Murders of Orange County," together with sister series set in Atlanta and Los Angeles
