Alloy Entertainment, LLC—previously known as Daniel Weiss Associates and 17th Street Productions—operates as a book packaging and television production division within Warner Bros. Television Studios. The company develops books, TV series, and feature-length films.

Each year, Alloy Entertainment publishes approximately thirty new titles, available in over forty languages internationally. Over eighty of these works have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list, including notable novels such as Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon, The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee, Max by Jennifer Li Shotz, and 99 Days by Katie Cotugno. Its most successful series—like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, and The 100—have collectively sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. On the television front, productions include titles such as Privileged, The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, The Originals, Legacies, and The 100. Additionally, the company develops or co-develops numerous TV programs and movies derived from its literary properties.

History

Originally launched in January 1987 under the name Daniel Weiss Associates, the firm specialized in book packaging. A decade later, in 1997, it created 17th Street Productions, a division dedicated to young adult fiction.

In January 2000, Alloy, Inc.—later known as Alloy Digital—acquired 17th Street Productions and rebranded it as Alloy Entertainment. Led by CEO Leslie Morgenstein, the company broadened its collaborations with publishers and entertainment studios to produce film and television adaptations of young adult literature.

On June 11, 2012, Alloy Digital’s principal owner ZelnickMedia sold Alloy Entertainment to Warner Bros. Television, which was part of Time Warner prior to the AT&T acquisition in 2018; following this transaction, the entity became part of WarnerMedia.
