Line 29:
In [[2019]], Hasbro became an even larger media powerhourse, purchasing [[Entertainment One]], a Canadian media production and distribution firm for $4 billion on {{D|August|22|2019}}, with the acquisition completed on {{D|Dec|30|2019}} of that same year. eOne would soon absorb [[AllSpark]] and became Hasbro's media production arm. This would give Hasbro control over the mega-successful ''Peppa Pig'' and ''PJ Mask'' franchises. Many eOne staff members would go on to work on media produced in the 5th Generation of ''My Little Pony''.
In [[2022]], many of Hasbro's comic series published by [[IDW Publishing]] were concluding due to the publishing house losing the rights. The [[My Little Pony comics|''My Little Pony'' comics]], including [[My Little Pony (2022 comic)|''My Little Pony'' (2022)]] and various Generation 4 spin-offs would remain in publication, however. Of note, many of IDW's Hasbro properties would share a loosely connected universe, usually referred to as the '''Hasbro Universe''' or '''IDW Universe'''.
On {{D|Oct|11|2021}}, Hasbro's long-time CEO, [[Brian Goldner]] would pass away due to prostate cancer. Richard Stoddart would serve as a brief interitem CEO until Chris Cocks was chosen to be his true successor. Goldner would be survived by his wife, Barbara and daughter, [[Brooke Goldner]].
