Lou Reda Productions is a full-scale television production company with offices located in Easton, PA and New York City.

Lou Reda, the company’s founder, first made a national name for himself in 1982 when he was the executive producer for the CBS miniseries The Blue and Gray (starring Gregory Peck as Abraham Lincoln). This began his love for historical programming, and prompted him to move into the non-fiction market.  Over the next 30 years the company produced more than 500 hours of programming for US and international television networks, including A&E, History, BIO, Discovery, Military Channel, CBS, HDNet and Viacom, while garnering immense praise in the form of a People’s Choice Award, eight Emmy nominations, five Cine Golden Eagles and nine Tellys. Among the company’s recent productions are the event television series WWII in HD (narrated by Gary Sinise) and Vietnam in HD (narrated by Michael C. Hall), produced for History.

In the 1960s and 70s, he managed singers such as Chubby Checker and Johnny Desmond, as well as entertainers like the Amazing Kreskin. In 1971, he created The Amazing World of Kreskin, the first syndicated television series for Viacom.

Today, Lou Reda Productions continues to develop and produce entertaining unscripted series and outstanding factual programs. They believe innovative storytelling, engaging characters and high production value regardless of budget are key to the success of any project.
