The company was originally founded as Weekly Mail Television in 1993 and then Mail & Guardian Television. The company separated from the Mail & Guardian in 1999, becoming Curious Pictures.[2] As to avoid confusion with the American production company of the same name, the company's name changed again in 2012 to Quizzical Pictures.[3] In 2014, the studio moved to a warehouse facility in Randburg.[4]
Dramas, comedies, and reality joints produced by Quizzical have garnered a number of awards and nominations, including at the SAFTAs, Africa Movie Academy Awards, the Rose d'Or, Peabody Award, and International Emmy Awards.[5][6]
