Gary Sanchez Productions, LLC was an American film and televisionproduction company founded byWill Ferrell andAdam McKay that was active from 2006 to April 8, 2019.
Gary Sanchez Productions was founded in 2006 by comedians and filmmakersWill Ferrell andAdam McKay. The company is named after a fictional "Paraguayan entrepreneur and financier", Gary Sanchez.[1] In 2007, McKay and Ferrell also founded the video siteFunny or Die, under the ownership of the production company.

On April 8, 2019, it was announced that Ferrell and McKay would be dissolving their partnership, though all developed projects at that time would continue to be completed.[3] It was later revealed the reason for the split was because McKay castJohn C.
