Gaumont, a publicly owned company headquartered in France, was founded in 1895 and employs approximately 590 individuals. It reported $162.5M in revenue as of 2024 and operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in content rights, functioning as a French film studio. Noted as the first and oldest film company globally, its operations include the production of series such as Lupin for platforms like Netflix, and it is quoted on Euronext in Paris.
Gaumont reported stable consolidated revenue of €150.3 million for 2025, matching 2024 figures, but posted a net loss of €19.5 million, amplified by a return to normal after an exceptional 2024 and provisions for losses, on March 12. Separately, on March 10, the company's acquired thriller series "The Hunt," starring Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Laurent and directed by Cédric Anger, became available. This follows the series' debut on Apple TV on March 4, three months after its originally slated December 3 premiere was delayed. Earlier, on February 20, Apple announced a new trailer and premiere date for "The Hunt," known as "Traqués" in France, after plagiarism allegations forced producer Gaumont to open an internal investigation and Apple to pull the show from its initial slate late last year.
