Endemol Southern Star (also known as Southern Star Endemol until February 2004) was an Australian television production company made up of a joint venture between Australian production company Southern Star Group and its Dutch production company Endemol. On 23 February 2004, Southern Star Endemol changed its name to Endemol Southern Star with both names switching their places. In 2010 the joint company ceased to exist after Endemol bought Southern Star from Fairfax in January 2009. Following this, all programmes under the ESS name were credited to Southern Star.
