SCRIPTED TV | UNSCRIPTED TV
We’re open to being pitched both drama and factual programming at various stages of development, financing, and production. At the top of our shopping list in the scripted space are returnable crime series driven by unforgettable characters (think Hidden Assets and Classified). Thrillers always float our boat (see The Secrets She Keeps and Vanishing Act) and we love dramas with a lot of heart (think crime-with-a-smile My Life is Murder or family drama Love Me).
In factual, we always have an appetite for high stakes character-led blue-light / hard jobs / workplace reality (see Emergency: First Time Medics and Aussie Gold Hunters). True crime and unsolved mysteries always work well for us too. We’d like cookery and travel programming with ‘familiar faces in unfamiliar places’ (think Prue Leith: My Cotswolds Kitchen and James Martin’s Spanish Adventure), as well as history with new discoveries (see Treasures with Bettany Hughes). Please refer to our catalogue for more of our programming.
