SCRIPTED TV

CBS Studios International looks for premium, creatively brilliant, and commercially valuable series from around the world. We have a broad slate when it comes to genre; with elevated crime drama, female-driven, psychological thriller, whodunnit, male-skewing, genre, and dramedy as our current priorities. We focus on 6-8 eps by 45-60min episodes and lean towards returning series. That said, there is always interest in limited series based on brilliant IP, as well as outstanding 30min comedies. We seek out and prioritise grounded, character-driven projects that have broad and undeniable global appeal.
