Pilgrim Media Group (also known as Pilgrim Studios) is a television production company based in North Hollywood, California. It was founded in 1997 by Craig Piligian.

Acquisition by Lionsgate

[edit]

On November 12, 2015, Lions Gate Entertainment created a partnership with Piligian when the studio acquired more than 50% of Pilgrim Studios for $200 million. Piligian retained his position as CEO of the company while Pilgrim continued to operate independently under Piligian.[2][3][4] The deal allowed Lionsgate to move into unscripted television programming.[2]
