Universal Content Productions LLC (UCP)[2] is an American television production company operating within the Universal Studio Group division of NBCUniversal, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast.[3]

History

Universal Cable Productions

In July 2008, Universal Cable Productions was split off from Universal Media Studios (UMS) and placed into NBC Universal's NBCU Cable Entertainment division. Originally, UCP was set up to produce shows for USA Network, Syfy, and other cable channels, and was a successor-in-interest to Universal's former cable production division USA Cable Entertainment, which was obtained via Vivendi Universal's acquisition of USA Networks' entertainment assets in 2001 and folded into NBC Universal Television Studio in 2004 when NBC merged with Vivendi Universal to form NBC Universal.[3] Cable-produced shows by Universal Media Studios, including shows that were previously produced under the USA Cable Entertainment name, were produced under Universal Cable Productions.

Since then, UCP has moved to producing shows for any network or channel, broadcast or cable. Its NBCU Broadcasting counterpart, Universal Television, has also moved to be a full-service TV studio.[4]

Universal Content Productions

In early 2019, Universal Cable Productions changed its name to Universal Content Productions to reflect its move into streaming, with production of The Umbrella Academy for Netflix and Peacock.[5] In October 2019, Universal Content Productions, along with Universal Television, was transferred from NBCUniversal Broadcast, Cable, Sports and News to NBCUniversal Content Studios.[6]

UCP announced in November 2019 the 2020 launch of their podcast channel UCP Audio. The studio will produce both scripted and unscripted content with the first scripted podcast from Esmail Corp.[7] It was announced that Dawn Olmstead would leave in order to join Anonymous Content.[8] In February 2021, UCP started an Asian incubator program, with Soo Hugh being one of the first overall deals.[9] In May 2021, UCP Audio was renamed USG Audio.[10] In May 2021, Jennifer Gwartz joined the company after she left 20th Television.[11] In 2021, Elliot Page has signed a deal with the studio.[12]
