SpringHill Company signed a two-year scripted television deal with ABC Signature, a part of Disney Television Studios, in June 2020.[4] In September 2020, the company signed a four-year first-look deal with Universal Pictures.[5]
Like SpringHill Entertainment before, the company is named after the housing complex in Akron, where James was raised.[6]
In November 2024, it was announced that SpringHill Company would merge with Fulwell 73 by the end of the year with Maverick Carter and Leo Pearlman leading the combined company as co-CEOs.[7]
