EXCLUSIVE: There’s a change at the top of Eureka Productions, the company behind unscripted series such as Fox’s Farmer Wants A Wife and Netflix’s The Mole.
Eden Gaha, who joined the company in May 2022, is leaving the business to “return to his roots” in independent production. It comes as the former Endemol Shine unscripted chief helped the Fremantle-backed company launch seven original series including recent Fox order The Floor.
Gaha said that he wanted to return to being a creator and showrunner, a role he was in before he joined the Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin-found firm.
He previously served as showrunner on Frogger, Eureka’s series, based on the classic videogame, for Peacock. In addition to The Mole, which launched on Netflix in October, Farmer Wants A Wife, which was renewed for a second season in May, and The Floor, which is based on a Dutch format from John De Mol, Eureka is behind ABC’s Holey Moley and also made The Real Love Boat for CBS, The Real Dirty Dancing for Fox and Finding Magic Mike for Max.
