As NENT Group
In March 2018, the Stockholm-headquarted entertainment company Modern Times Group (MTG) initiated a process to split into two companies by spinning off its then Nordic Entertainment and MTG Studios business segments plus Splay Networks into a new company. This was initiated after Danish telecommunications operator TDC A/S, which had proposed to buy these assets a month earlier, was itself acquired by the Australian private equity investor Macquarie Group. Anders Jensen, MTG executive vice president and CEO of Nordic Entertainment, was named president and CEO of NENT Group.

NENT Group began operating separately on July 1, 2018.. On 28 March 2019, shares in Nordic Entertainment Group started trading on Nasdaq Stockholm exchange.

NENT Group took a stake in Erik Feig's Picturestart studio along with first look Nordic rights to its content at Picturestart's May 2019 launch.
