Encouraging and developing creatives across the sector is at the core of why RT exists and this initiative will also give Irish talent a platform to connect with audiences in Ireland and beyond .
D sir e Finnegan, Chief Executive of F s ireann/Screen Ireland, said: Screen Ireland is delighted to collaborate with RT on their new initiative. We are deeply committed to the development of new, emerging and diverse voices alongside established industry growth, and look forward to the creative focus on high-end TV drama and comedy for younger audiences.
From the submission received, up to five dramas will be developed to bible and pilot script stage with a view to commissioning up to two brand new drama series for 2022/23. In scripted comedy, up to ten proposals will be brought through a development phase with the aim of bringing at least two series to screen. Further details at www.rte.ie/commissioning
