Breakthrough Entertainment (formerly known as Breakthrough Films & Television) was a Canadian production company founded in 1986 by Peter Williamson and Ira Levy. It produced famous Canadian TV shows such as Jimmy Two-Shoes and Atomic Betty.
On July 10, 2018, 9 Story Media Group acquired Breakthrough Entertainment's kids and family library and development slate.
Somewhere in 2023, Breakthrough Entertainment was also acquired by Shadow Pine Studios. This meant that employees at the company would be shifting to new positions at Shadow Pine Studios, and that they would also manage Breakthrough's existing catalogue.
