Matty Matheson, Ricky Staffieri and Hannah Welever launch Super Athletic Film Co. as new film and television production company

The Bear stars Matty Matheson and Ricky Staffieri, working with producer Hannah Welever, said they have formed Super Athletic Film Co. to develop original stories for film and TV.

Matty Matheson and Ricky Staffieri, actors from FX’s The Bear, and producer Hannah Welever announced they have launched a new production company, Super Athletic Film Co., with a stated focus on developing original stories for film and television. Deadline reported the initiative as an exclusive development, naming the three as partners behind the company.

According to the announcement reported by Deadline, the company’s mission is to “champion a new class of creatives” through their work on feature films and TV projects. The report characterizes the effort as extending the collaborators’ creative relationship into a business platform dedicated to producing new work across screen formats.

The announcement also ties the partnership to the chemistry between Matheson and Staffieri from The Bear, the FX series they star in. Deadline described the two as having formed an “instant bond” during their time on the award-winning culinary series, and said the new company grows out of that shared working relationship with Welever.

Welever, identified in the report as a producer partnering with the actors, is described as joining the venture to help guide its development strategy for film and TV. The report places Super Athletic Film Co. in the broader production landscape as a new entrant created by prominent series performers seeking to formalize their roles as producers.

Deadline did not provide specific titles, release dates, or production schedules in the announcement, and it did not disclose financing terms, operating headquarters, or staffing beyond the three named partners. As with many newly formed production entities, the immediate next steps for Super Athletic Film Co. appear to be project development and packaging, with the company’s early output dependent on casting, writing, and production partner agreements.

In the entertainment industry, the creation of a new production company can affect how projects are financed and governed, including which teams receive development resources and how rights are structured across production and distribution. For audiences, new companies can also influence the range of stories that reach platforms, depending on what partnerships the company secures and how quickly projects move into production.

Why It Matters

  • Super Athletic Film Co. adds a new production platform led by prominent series performers, potentially affecting how new projects are developed and who is brought into creative roles.
  • The company’s stated emphasis on advancing “a new class of creatives” points to a production focus that could shape the range of stories available for film and TV audiences.
  • Because the announcement did not include titles or timelines, the near-term impact will depend on what projects the company chooses to develop and the partners it signs for distribution and production.
  • New production companies can also carry operational and rights-management implications for future deals, including development responsibilities and downstream control of material across film and television releases.
