Job Description

A development producer at our production company will run a slate of scripts with the aim of getting those projects commissioned by a broadcaster, studio, distributor or streaming platform.

Their daily responsibilities include reading and analysing the latest screenplays, offering feedback to the screenwriters with potential improvements and changes. When they aren’t looking at current projects on their development slate, they’ll be scouting for emerging writing talent and analysing submitted screenplays to see if there is potential to eventually get it commissioned.

The development process can take years of edits before the project is greenlit by a broadcaster or streamer.

Finally, a development producer could also work for a broadcaster within the commissioning team. They will provide feedback to the production company from the view of a broadcaster – they know their audiences in particular.
