SGP Studios Makes History with Peacock, Elevating Caribbean Productions to Global Audiences.

SGP Studios: Putting the Caribbean on the Global Stage

SGP Studios has redefined what’s possible for Caribbean film and television. In a landmark achievement, the studio, alongside the Creator and Executive Producer, Jerome Precilla and Executive Producers’, Gian Franco and Rodney Seemungal, became the first in regional history to have a locally produced series, Carnival Catwalk, acquired by NBC’s Peacock, marking the first-ever television show from the Caribbean to stream on a major U.S. platform.

This milestone is more than a win for one show; it’s a statement of intent from SGP Studios, the powerhouse leading a new creative movement in the Caribbean.

A Vision Beyond Borders

Founded on the belief that Caribbean stories deserve global platforms, SGP Studios bridges artistry and industry, nurturing local talent while delivering world-class production standards that rival international benchmarks.

“We’re not just producing content, we’re building a creative revolution,” says Rodney Seemungal, CEO of SGP Studios and Executive Producer of Carnival Catwalk. “Peacock’s acquisition proves that the Caribbean’s stories, culture, and craftsmanship belong on the world stage. This success belongs to every filmmaker, writer, and artist in the region.”
