What we're looking for from Ready, Steady, Pitch!

UNSCRIPTED TV

First and foremost, we look for shows with cut through that draw an audience in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Strategically we have a tightly defined content proposition that enables us to be distinctive and every commissioning decision we make prioritises our streaming audiences.

Across all genres we look for gutsy, broad reaching content that is authentically diverse and breaks new ground whether that’s in its storytelling or visual treatment.

Factual and documentary series should feature human stories where real life is as compelling as drama, and we love shows with exclusive access or ones that expose the dark underbelly of society. In the reality space we want bold new formats that have evolved to work for digital audiences with jaw dropping moments to maximise buzz. Recent examples include documentary series Black Coast Vanishings and internationally acclaimed format The Traitors.  

We commission content that resonates primarily with viewers across Australia and New Zealand but also has internationally appeal and we’re very open to co-productions.
