The company subsequently set up a deal with20th Century Fox in 1993.[3] In 1996, 3 Arts made an alliance withCBS andSony Pictures to launch 3 Arts Television which was dissolved by the end of the following year when it failed to produce any primetime television projects for the network.[4] In 1999, 3 Arts Television was relaunched byNBC Studios executive David Bartis with a pact at Fox.[5]

On November 13, 2017,The Hollywood Reporter published thatPamela Adlon had firedDave Becky after his client,Louis C.K., was accused by five women ofsexual misconduct in a publication byThe New York Times.[8] In a publication by theTimes, comedians Julia Wolov and Dana Min Goodman accused David Becky of informing them through their managers not to speak about their experience ofLouis C.K. exposing himself and masturbating in front of them after a show in 2002.[9][10]
On June 23, 2020, following multiple sexual accusations, 3 Arts Entertainment ended their partnership withChris D’Elia.[11][12]
