Following today’s deal, Radial and FilmRise will repurpose and curate its library into multiple seasons across seven series. These will comprise The Infographics Show: True Crime, The Infographics Show: Mind & Body, The Infographics Show: Science & Nature, The Infographics Show: Military & Government, The Infographics Show: War & History, The Infographics Show: Prison & Punishment, and The Infographics Show: Society & Culture.
“Andrej Preston and Dark Matter Design have reshaped how audiences learn, discover, and stay entertained,” stated Jonitha Keymoore, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions at Radial. “The Infographics Show is a phenomenon, and FilmRise has been at the forefront of bringing creator-driven content to streaming platforms over the past four years. We’re excited to expand the show’s global reach.
“Scaling creator-driven content with strong, sustained demand is a key focus for us. This deal highlights our commitment to championing innovative creators and delivering compelling content to audiences everywhere.”
As we revealed in July 2025, Radial was formed after Oaktree Capital Management acquired FilmRise, the indie digital streaming content distributor, and merged it with Shout! Studios, which had been bought two years prior. Radial has a library of over 70,000 movies and TV episodes, and distributes across FAST channels, ad-funded streaming, subscription streaming, physical products and theatrical.
Today’s deal comes in the same week Radial hired former Fremantle exec James Meyer to the newly-created role of Senior Vice President, International Sales and Distribution.
Carolyn Marcus, Director of Creator Partnerships at Radial, negotiated the Inforgraphics Show deal with and Alan Kronik of ThoughtLeaders on behalf of Dark Matter Design.
