[[https://www.sonypictures.com Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. (SPE)]] is the film and television production arm of the Japanese multinational conglomerate Creator/{{Sony}}. They count the [[Creator/ColumbiaPictures Columbia]] and [[Creator/TristarPictures TriStar]] studios, [[Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision SPE Television]], [[Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation SP Animation]] and SPE Home Entertainment as their leading subsidiaries, and own and operate the Creator/SonyPicturesStudios (previously the old Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer) lot for films, TV shows, and audio post-production services.

Beyond production, Sony Pictures houses a variety of TV and streaming outlets. These include [[Creator/{{GSN}} Game Show Network]], Creator/{{Crackle}} (an ad-supported streaming service now majority owned by Literature/ChickenSoupForTheSoul), [=GetTV=] (a network for classic movie and television series from the Sony libraries), and Creator/{{Funimation}}'s streaming service (following their majority acquisition by Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision in 2017).

As of 2021, it is the only one of the "Big Six" studios (including mini-major Creator/{{Lionsgate}}) to not have launched or acquired a paid all-inclusive streaming service/premium cable channel, choosing instead to license its library to other outlets (currently Creator/{{Starz}} and Creator/{{FX|Networks}}, soon to be Creator/{{Netflix}} and [[Creator/DisneyPlus Disney's]] [[Creator/{{Hulu}} various]] [[Creator/{{Freeform}} media]] [[Creator/FXNetworks arms]] among many others) for a lucrative payday.
