SCRIPTED TELEVISION (COMEDY)

Scripted drama and comedy remain key audience drivers for ABC iview, and we are committed to producing premium, original Australian stories for a broad audience.

Comedy is central to ABC’s identity, and we seek series that are returnable (Fisk, Utopia), boundary-pushing, or full of heart (Please Like Me, In Limbo). We also remain committed to landmark true Australian stories (Fires, Stateless).

We welcome partnerships that deliver bold, distinctive stories that engage audiences and define Australian storytelling.
