Bellum developed, produced, and distributed TV projects for broadcast, cable, digital, and ancillary markets.

[citation needed] In 2017, Bellum began to be investigated by the United States Department of Labor for misclassifying workers as independent contractors rather than employees.

Bellum also owes numerous companies unpaid money and as a result has been blacklisted from various distributors from consideration of production deals.

It owes one company, Launchpad Entertainment, LLC over $275,000 in unpaid footage license fees that it used in programs.

[12] A legal notice published in the July 19, 2019, issue of The Hollywood Reporter indicates Bellum's library assets would be publicly auctioned by The Credit Junction (acting as the secured party) beginning July 22, 2019, before the actual auction occurs on August 15 at the office of a Santa Monica attorney.
