About Go Button Media

Go Button Media is an independent Canadian television production company based in Toronto. Founded in 2015, the studio develops and produces factual documentaries and unscripted entertainment for international broadcasters, streaming platforms and distribution partners. Its catalogue spans natural history, science, engineering, military history, archaeology and ancient civilizations, alongside lifestyle and competition formats.

The company's factual programming explores subjects ranging from animal biology and technological innovation to historical mysteries and surviving infrastructure. Productions include The Animal Within, Deadly Science, Colossal Machines, Secrets of Ancient Structures and Shadows & Dust: Lost History. Its history slate also includes Secret Nazi Bases, which has aired across five seasons through UKTV and Warner Bros. Discovery. Visual storytelling, CGI and recreations form part of its approach to presenting scientific and historical subjects.

Factual and entertainment production

Alongside documentaries, Go Button Media develops character-led entertainment and lifestyle programming. Its productions include the drag competition series Call Me Mother for OUTtv, the dating format Mom vs. Matchmaker and the culinary competition Bake and Make Up for VisionTV. These programmes extend the studio's work beyond factual series into relationships, performance and competition.

The company handles development and production from initial concepts and intellectual property creation through to finished broadcast delivery. Its capabilities encompass writing, casting, cinematography, field directing, production management and archival research, together with editing, music, post-production supervision and visual effects coordination. This scope supports projects across both its factual and entertainment catalogues.

Go Button Media works within an international television market, collaborating with broadcasters and distributors in Canada, Europe and other territories. Its programming reaches broadcast television, pay television, cable and streaming audiences. By its tenth anniversary in 2025, the company had expanded its production slate substantially; subsequent reporting described more than 80 hours of greenlit factual television annually. It continues to operate as an independent, creator-owned studio with development, production and post-production capabilities.
