An ambitious idea turned reality when industry vets Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager launched a unique production company in 2007 — Den of Thieves
Today, Den of Thieves creates television's most electrifying and impactful moments. Ranging from award shows, live specials, documentaries, unscripted series, and more, DOT consistently delivers groundbreaking content that shapes culture and captivates audiences globally.
Working in tandem with Jesse and Evan are Executive Producers, Barb Bialkowski and Jared Morell. Bialkowski is an integral part of DOT’s events and specials strategy, both as a development executive and veteran showrunner. Morell leads non-scripted development and production at DOT and has produced a diverse slate of projects including live events, specials and series.
Den of Thieves boasts some of the industry's most elite production credits, including NBC’s People’s Choice Awards, Live From E! on the Red Carpet, the VMAs, and more. Currently, DOT produces Netflix's Dinner Time Live with David Chang, the first-ever live cooking show, as well as Judge Steve Harvey, which is continuing its third season run on ABC. Most recently, DOT produced Vogue's official Met Gala and Vogue World: Paris livestreams; and for the past seventeen consecutive years, DOT has produced the MTV Video Music Awards, which will air live once again this coming September. Den of Thieves is also the producing force behind Miley Cyrus New Year's Eve Party on NBC, Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour and Ariana Grande: Excuse Me I Love You on Netflix, BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage for Disney+, Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart for HBO Max, NBC’s People’s Choice Country Awards, and more.
