Chris Hemsworth Shuts Down Production Company Wild State After Four Years

Chris Hemsworth has closed down his production company, Wild State, just four years after its establishment. The company's website is no longer accessible, displaying a blank page indicating it has 'expired'. Employees have reportedly been informed that their contracts will be paid out through the end of 2026.

According to Page Six, Hemsworth's decision to close Wild State, which he co-founded with Benjamin Grayson in 2022, is described as a "life choice." The move is reportedly aimed at allowing him to concentrate on more profitable movie opportunities. Despite the closure, Hemsworth is said to remain proud of the company's achievements during its brief operational period.

Wild State had previously announced a first-look deal with National Geographic for unscripted projects, following Hemsworth's success with his series "Limitless." In that show, the actor explored various aspects of life and longevity through different challenges.

Hemsworth is known for his prominent role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In July, he reportedly secured a $57 million deal for two upcoming Avengers films. Also in July, he and his wife, Elsa Pataky, added a championship-style tennis court to their extensive Byron Bay estate. The couple shares three children: daughter India, 14, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 12.

The Byron Bay property, acquired in 2014 for $7 million, underwent a significant transformation after the original Balinese-style residence was demolished. The sprawling compound is now considered one of Australia's most remarkable private homes, featuring a 4.2-hectare coastal landholding, considerable privacy, ocean views, and numerous resort-style amenities. The recently added tennis court is estimated to have cost nearly $150,000. Property observers suggest the estate's current market value could exceed $75 million.
