Television Productions) is an American television production and distribution studio of the Warner Bros. Television Group division of Warner Bros. (both ultimately owned by Warner Bros. Discovery). Alongside Paramount Global's television arm CBS Studios, it serves as a television production arm of The CW (in which Warner Bros. Discovery has a 50% ownership stake), DC Comics and distribution arm of HBO, it also has produced shows for other networks, such as Blindspot on NBC, The Mentalist on CBS and The Cleaning Lady on Fox as well as produced shows for other streaming services such as Netflix and Apple TV+.

As of 2015, it is one of the world's two largest television production companies measured by revenue and library (along with Sony Pictures Television).[5][6]
