About

Edith’s Daughter is a film and television production company founded in 2020 by Academy Award–nominated, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy–winning actress Cynthia Erivo. Named in honor of her mother, the company was established with a mission to develop and produce stories that highlight underrepresented voices and celebrate the complexity and beauty of overlooked communities. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the banner operates across film, television, and unscripted content, with a growing footprint through major studio partnerships, most notably a first-look deal with Universal Pictures that significantly expanded its development slate and industry reach.

The company made its debut in feature filmmaking with Drift (2023), starring Erivo, which premiered as an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and received strong critical reception, marking an early milestone for the banner. Building on that momentum, Edith’s Daughter has continued to expand its film slate with high-profile projects in development, including a remake of The Rose for Searchlight Pictures, as well as a biographical project centered on Sarah Forbes Bonetta, in collaboration with SunnyMarch.

On the television side, the company has established a presence in premium streaming development with the series Raising Wild, produced in partnership with Renée Zellweger’s banner and set up at Apple TV+. While still in its early years, Edith’s Daughter has quickly positioned itself as a purpose-driven production company focused on prestige storytelling and inclusive narratives, leveraging Erivo’s award-winning pedigree—including her Oscar nomination for Harriet—to attract high-caliber collaborations and studio backing.

As of its most recent phase, the company’s growth is defined by its strategic studio partnerships, expanding development pipeline, and commitment to socially impactful storytelling, with upcoming film and television projects poised to further solidify its standing within the evolving entertainment landscape.
