Fake Empire Productions is the production company that was formed in 2010 by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage to develop and produce television series and feature films. Their most notable productions include the series Gossip Girl (developed by Schwartz and Savage), Chuck (co-created by Schwartz and Chris Fedak), Hart of Dixie (created by Leila Gerstein and produced by Schwartz, Savage, and their producing partner Len Goldstein) and The Carrie Diaries (developed by Amy B. Harris and produced by Schwartz, Savage, and their producing partner Len Goldstein). The company was formed to focus on television projects and produce films, with the intent of branching out into online series, music and books. Schwartz formerly operated under the banner of College Hill Pictures, Inc., which folded in the making of Fake Empire.
Overseen by Len Goldstein, the television division of Fake Empire is based at Warner Bros. Television, which distributes the Gossip Girl, Chuck, Hart of Dixie, The Carrie Diaries, Cult, and The Astronaut Wives Club television series. The film division of the company is based at Paramount Pictures and is run by Lis Rowinski.
The following table lists the production credit of Fake Empire, and its previous incarnation, College Hill Pictures, Inc.
The company's end-of-credits logo for College Hill (top right) used to be a note book with 'College Hill Pictures, Inc.' written on the subject line. This logo was used for all episodes of The O.C., starting with "The L.A.", and for the first three seasons of both Gossip Girl and Chuck.
The new company's Fake Empire logo is a sketch pad with key features of the show drawn onto the pad with the name Fake Empire underneath. The new logo was first used on September 13, 2010 after the end credits of Gossip Girl, making Gossip Girl the first Fake Empire produced series to feature the logo. The pictures that are drawn onto the sketch pad for the end of Gossip Girl's logo are sketches of a cell phone, a New York City cab, a pair of heel shoes (which is a reference to the fashion on the show), and two New York sights (above).
