About FMP

Francesca Moody Productions (FMP) is an Olivier Award-winning, Tony-nominated production company whose work in theatre has originated two of the most globally successful television shows of the last decade: Fleabag and Baby Reindeer.

We make original theatre, television, film, audio and live events. We believe in finding the right home for the right story and growing it over time. From tiny fringe theatres to the West End, to the next big Amazon television series and beyond.

We’re serious about our work, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We work with leading artists and nurture new talent to produce bold, award-winning shows with huge potential. Be it drama, comedy, horror, or musicals, our work swings big, is full of heart, and has something to say.

In 2025 FMP launched Shedinburgh, a new live arts venue and festival at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and beyond, offering a curated programme alongside a creative hub for artists. The festival is a crucible for creatives at all stages of their careers, united by a passion for bold storytelling that speaks to today’s world.
