It produces 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. In 2022, due to a shareholder dispute and disruption in production caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Breakthrough Film & Television and all of its affiliated entities filed a Notice of Intention to make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, hiring Dodick & Associates as the Trustee. In 2023, Breakthrough Entertainment was acquired by Shadow Pines Studios.
