EMMY AWARD-NOMINATED BEN WINSTON, WITH FULWELL 73 PRODUCTIONS, SIGNS DEVELOPMENT DEAL WITH CBS TELEVISION STUDIOS

STUDIO CITY, CALIF. - Aug. 9, 2016 - CBS Television Studios announced today a development deal with Fulwell 73, the independent UK-based production company comprised of partners Ben Winston, Leo Pearlman, Ben Turner and Gabe Turner.

Executive producers of CBS's Emmy Award-nominated THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, Fulwell 73 and Ben Winston will create all forms of television (scripted, alternative and digital) for the Studio. They will develop for broadcast and cable networks, as well as streaming services and other digital platforms.

Winston and Fulwell 73's initial project is the previously announced CARPOOL KARAOKE television series for Apple Music, based on the segment that has become a global, viral-video sensation on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN. In each of the 16 episodes of the series, celebrities will ride and sing along as they visit places meaningful to the celebrity, sing tunes from their personal playlists and surprise fans who don't expect to see big stars belting out tunes one lane over.

"Ben and Fulwell's creativity and willingness to take risks have made them one of the UK's most versatile, award-winning producers," said David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios. "Now, with Ben working his magic in the U.S., he has redefined the late night arena with THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, turning it into a multiple Emmy-nominated late night talk show in just its first season. The new CARPOOL KARAOKE weekly series is a great start to our partnership with Fulwell 73 and we look forward to more unique and innovative programming across different platforms."

"I am so delighted that we are partnering with CBS Television Studios," Ben Winston stated. "David Stapf and his team have been the greatest partners on THE LATE LATE SHOW, and I am so excited about what else we can do together going forward."

"It's always been a dream of ours to expand into the U.S., and after the success of THE LATE LATE SHOW, the opportunity to do so in partnership with CBS Television Studios is one that we can't wait to start," said Leo Pearlman, partner at Fulwell 73. "Less than 10 years since forming the company, we now have a chance to create content with America's most-watched network and we couldn't be more excited."

Winston and Fulwell 73 are well-known in their native UK as successful, multi-faceted producers, directors and writers. Their award-winning credits span television, movies, music videos and commercials, and push the boundaries of what an independent production company is expected to produce, continually defying easy categorization. Their projects include the forthcoming Usain Bolt film, "I Am Bolt," a cinematic sports documentary to be released globally by Universal, "Class of 92" starring David Beckham, also with Universal, BBC One's "Mo Farah: Race of His Life" and the record-breaking "Gary Barlow: On Her Majesty's Service." In February of this year, they collected the prestigious Best Music Video Brit Award for a record-breaking third consecutive year for their work with One Direction. Winston also served as executive producer on the hit UK version of "The X Factor." In addition, he has produced and directed record-breaking documentaries and movies for the world's #1 bestselling musical act One Direction, and won an MTV Video Music Award for directing the music video for "Best Song Ever," which also featured Corden.
