ABOUT NAZ MANTOO
I create stories that travel.Over the last decade, I’ve developed, produced, and overseen unscripted shows across the UK, US, and Australia. From \'The Circle\' at Studio Lambert to Legendary’s first documentary \'Blue Scuti\'(Tribeca premiere), to creating the first-ever spin-off of \'I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here\' in South Africa.My background spans big, shiny floor entertainment, primetime reality competitions, documentaries, true crime, and docuseries. I’ve worked with networks and streamers including NBC, Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Hulu, BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, shaping projects from the first spark of an idea through casting, pilots, production, and post.As unscripted continues to evolve, I focus on IP-driven development, talent-led storytelling, and hybrid formats that bridge character-driven narratives with social experiments. My goal is to create formats that are globally scalable yet adaptable to local markets.What drives me is surprising audiences with fresh ideas while balancing creative ambition with the realities of production. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with brilliant producers, talent, and partners to bring bold, boundary-pushing formats to life.Always open to building the next big thing in unscripted. Hit me up. Let\'s make something epic, special and memorable.
