Banijay Nordics

In August 1998, Metronome Film & Television announced a partnership with Endemol that would bring Metronome's TV production activities and Endemol Entertainment's own production businesses in a far-reaching strategic alliance in the Nordic territories with Endemol taking a 35% stake in Scandinavian production outfit Metronome Film & Television as the latter merged its Swedish and Danish production units into Metronome.

In March 2015 following Shine Nordics' Shine Group merged with Dutch entertainment production powerhouse Endemol to form Endemol Shine Group a month prior in February of that year, Endemol Shine Group announced a restructuring of its Scandinavian operations by launching a new Nordic production division by renaming Shine Nordics into Endemol Shine Nordics as a new division that would handle Shine Nordics' production companies as Endemol's Norwegian, Danish and Finnish production divisions (Endemol Norway, Endemol Denmark and Endemol Finland) being merged into Shine Nordics' production units with Endemol Shine International co-CEO Gary Carter and former Shine Nordics executives Bertil Rosenlund and Victoria Kjellberg heading Endemol Shine Group's new Nordic production division with Endemol Sweden became part of the new division.

In February 2016 five years before Banijay's acquisition of Endemol Shine Nordics alongside Dutch production parent Endemol Shine Group and following Banijay's merger with Swedish/French production & distribution group Zodiak Media, Banijay placed all of its Scandinavian television production activities including Nordisk Film TV into the acquired Zodiak Nordic division and had it renamed to Banijay Zodiak Nordic as Banijay's new Nordic division with Nordisk Film TV CEO Jacob Houlind was appointed to be the new division's president as Zodiak Nordic's former president Mikael Royson became CFO of the rebranded division.

In July 2020, Endemol Shine Nordics' Dutch production & distribution parent Endemol Shine Group had been merged into French production & distribution company Banijay Group turning the latter into a global international production and distribution titan with Endemol Shine Nordics became Banijay's new Nordics division renamed to Banijay Nordics as Banijay placed all of its Scandinavian production subsidiaries such as Respirator, Yellow Bird and Jarowskij (the two were former Zodiak Media companies) into the rebranded division.

In September 2024, Banijay Nordics restructured its Swedish production operations in Sweden by merging three of its production labels, Jarowskij, Yellow Bird and Meter Television into two labels with Jarowskij's scripted division being merged with Yellow Bird to become Jarowskij/Yellow Bird which will bring together the former's script wing with Yellow Bird's and will become the drama division with Elin Kvist becoming CEO whilst Meter Television was merged into Jarowskij's unscripted division effectively becoming Meter/Jarowskij.

Metronome Spartacus produced the Norwegian soap-opera Hotel Caesar for the Norwegian television corporation TV 2, until it was cancelled on 31 mar 2017.
