Peter Andrews is the founder of Pilot Season, a boutique content consultancy helping producers, broadcasters, and streaming platforms shape stories for every screen. Launched in 2026 after more than two decades at the forefront of Australian television, Pilot Season draws on Peter’s rare combination of programming instinct, commissioning experience, and deep international relationships to help content find its audience — wherever that audience lives.

Peter spent twelve years as Head of Network Programming at SBS, where he led programming strategy across all broadcast channels, built SBS On Demand into one of Australia’s most distinctive streaming destinations, led international content acquisitions, and commissioned landmark titles including Alone Australia. Before SBS, he served ten years as Network Program Manager at Network TEN, shaping the network’s slate during a transformative period in Australian broadcasting.

Now through Pilot Season, Peter works as a strategic content partner to streamers, broadcasters, independent producers, and global distributors — including Paris-based Pernel Media — advising on development, commissioning strategy, and co-production pathways between Australia, the UK, and Europe. He brings buyers’ empathy and a commissioner’s eye: an understanding of what buyers need, paired with a genuine commitment to helping great ideas get made.

Peter is always grateful to the colleagues, commissioners, and creators who have shaped his career, and believes the best content outcomes are built on critical relationships and partnerships — the kind built on trust, shared ambition, and a willingness to back bold ideas together.
