SCRIPTED TELEVISION

SBS is looking for channel defining scripted drama that is distinctive, noisy and unapologetically entertaining.

We want ambitious shows with a point of difference that will provoke and delight audiences.

We’re interested in contemporary stories across genres with strong characters, addictive narratives and dramatic stakes.

We’re not currently looking for broad comedy, pure sci-fi or fantasy, YA, features or children’s content.
