By Dianna Dilworth 

FremantleMedia North America has acquired Random House Studio in a deal whose terms have not been disclosed.

The sister division within Bertelsmann will continue the company’s mission, “to create larger potential audiences for our authors’ works, and to involve them directly in the creative process of adapting their writing to the screen.”

Peter Gethers, executive vice president and general manager of Random House Studio, will continue to lead the same team. They will keep their current offices in New York and Los Angeles. Gethers will continue in his separate role as editor at large for Knopf Doubleday.
