Who Owns Jim Henson Company
The Jim Henson Company is privately held by the Henson family. The company was founded by puppeteer and creator Jim Henson and remains controlled by his heirs. It operates independently as a family-run entertainment business focused on puppetry, children's media, and character-driven storytelling.
History of Ownership
After Jim Henson's death in 1990, ownership passed to his children and family members. The company has stayed under family management rather than being sold to a large media conglomerate. This structure has allowed the business to maintain creative control over its properties.
Current Structure and Operations
Today, the Jim Henson Company continues to develop television series, films, and digital content featuring its classic characters. The company works with partners across the entertainment industry while keeping decision-making within the Henson family. For more details, see the official company overview on henson.com.
