Breakthrough Entertainment (formerly Breakthrough Films & Television) was a Canadian production company founded in 1986 by Peter Williamson and Ira Levy. It produced popular Canadian TV shows such as Jimmy Two-Shoes and Atomic Betty.

Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Breakthrough Entertainment produced a variety of programming, including primetime comedy and drama series, factual entertainment, documentaries, television movies, feature films, kids' and family entertainment. The company licensed programs to major broadcasters in over 200 territories, handling worldwide pre-sales, co-productions, and third-party acquisitions.[1]

On July 10, 2018, 9 Story Media Group acquired Breakthrough Entertainment's kids and family library and development slate.[2]

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.[3]

Sometime in 2023, Breakthrough Entertainment was acquired by Shadow Pines Studios. This means that employees at the company would shift to new positions at Shadow Pines Studios, and that they also manage Breakthrough's existing catalogue.[4]
