Lions Gate Entertainment completed the full separation of the Lionsgate Studios and Starz businesses into two standalone, publicly traded companies.

The premium cable and streaming outlet is once again a standalone company, with shares on the Nasdaq exchange.

Lionsgate and Starz have been working on a separation for the last three years, but the pandemic and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes slowed things down. The split is intended “to ultimately create more market value for both,” per Deadline.
