Make something together

Co-produce means to produce something jointly with one or more other people or organizations.

The term appears most often in film, television, and theater, where productions frequently involve multiple studios, networks, or production companies sharing creative and financial responsibility.

The documentary was co-produced by the BBC and PBS.
