Sony Pictures Television acquires a majority stake in 32 Flavors, the unscripted production company founded by Alex Baskin. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline both report the transaction, with Deadline describing it as part of Sony Pictures Television’s push to expand in unscripted programming. 32 Flavors is known for producing “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Valley.” Deadline adds that the company was established in 2023 after Baskin exited Amazon-owned Evolution Media, where he previously served as President. Both outlets state that Baskin will continue to lead the business, with The Hollywood Reporter specifically noting he remains CEO following the deal. The reports do not specify the size of the stake or the financial terms. The acquisition places 32 Flavors under Sony Pictures Television’s control as a majority-owned subsidiary, while retaining Baskin’s ongoing executive role.
