Princess Pictures is an Australian production studio, located in South Melbourne, Victoria. Founded by Laura Waters in 2003, the studio is best known for producing all six shows created by Chris Lilley for ABC, HBO, and Netflix.[1] Their film and television credits include Summer Heights High, Lunatics, Superwog, How to Stay Married, Smiling Friends, YOLO, and Koala Man.

Background

In 2021, the studio expanded into animated projects by opening Princess Bento Studio, a joint venture with American animation studio Bento Box Entertainment which aims to create content for both local and international audiences following a first-look deal between the two companies a year prior.[2][3][4]

In 2022, Princess Pictures acquired the Irish animation studio Boulder Media from Hasbro.[5]
