RLJE International Ltd, Trading as Acorn Media International, is a British company that publishes and distributes DVDs, as well as selling home-video products and streaming videos with a particular focus on British television.

History Launched in 1997, Acorn Media U.K. Limited distributes collectible home video products in the U.K. market. By design, Acorn U.K.'s product line often overlaps with the Acorn Media U.S. line. This division of the company also serves as a permanent presence in the U.K. television programming community, a primary source of both Acorn Media U.S. and Acorn U.K. acquisitions.

Important programming franchises for this Acorn division include New Tricks, Criminal Justice, Midsomer Murders, Foyle's War, Trial & Retribution, Wild at Heart, Wainwright Walks, and Inspector George Gently.

In April 2007, Acorn Media U.K. launched Acacia U.K., a healthy living brand encompassing licensed and original programming on DVD.

In 2012, RLJ Companies bought Acorn Media, including a majority share in Agatha Christie Ltd, and Image to form RLJ Entertainment.

In 2021, it began distributing new AMC Studios programming.
