Production Company Profile
Looking for coproduction opportunities where the materials speak organically and authentically to collaboration. Material can be original or IP-based and, whether procedural or serialised, should be character-driven with a distinct voice and POV: female-led narratives and diverse perspectives are of particular interest. Much of our slate sits within the one-hour crime, mystery, suspense and thriller space; but we're also seeking grounded genre and there may be opportunities for authored half-hours. We're keen for material which offers an escape, whether it's elevated and aspirational or simply a fun guilty pleasure ; but always with the aim of resonating with the world around us.
