CHANNEL 5 has revealed that a whopping six new dramas will be making their way to the channel.
The broadcaster has seen success with its drama output in recent years and has managed to sign up a slew of stars to take on the roles.
Now, fans can look forward to plenty more action with the commissioning of six new programmes.
But in a twist, the six shows will all be standalone dramas that run for just one episode each.
It means fans will have little to no commitment to the programmes as well as the ability to watch and catch-up at their leisure – a game-changer in the streaming era.
The single drama strand will be known as Drama of the Week and is a nod to the iconic Play for Today series which ran on the BBC between 1970 and 1984.
The new strand is also understood to focus on giving opportunities to rising stars both on and off-camera as well as welcoming in low-income talent in writing, direction and production.
Sebastian Cardwell, head of drama and Channel 5’s deputy chief content officer stated: “The launch of this new drama strand is our response to an increasingly worrying and wider economic situation impacting our industry.
“From well-loved soaps closing to funding disappearing, it’s becoming even more difficult for people from low-income backgrounds to break through via traditional methods.
“We’ve specifically selected to work with Allan Niblo and Nathalie Peter-Contesse (Vertigo Films) and Colin McKeown (LA Productions) as they have a track record in supporting and nurturing this incredibly talented pool of people who need to be given the opportunity to step up.”
Vertigo Films and LA Productions will produce the first episode in the strand with the pilot set to run before 2026 when all six dramas are likely to be in the works.
Channel 5 bosses also hope that other production companies will jump at the chance to get on board following the pilot.
It is also understood that if any of the one-off dramas perform particularly well, there is scope to turn them into a full-length series later down the line.
Ben Frow, Channel 5’s chief content officer said of the new innovative commissions: “As a public service broadcaster, reflecting the lives of our audience is a huge priority for us.
“This new strand, in the vein of ‘Play for Today,’ will help bring some of the important issues that affect our viewers to life, whilst also giving talented individuals from low-income backgrounds the chance to shine as part of the productions.”
Further details are expected to be announced in due course.
Channel 5 has become a hub for gripping drama, these are some of the best My5 has to offer.
Marvel Television seems very confident when it comes to Daredevil: Born Again, given that the review embargo for the show has already been lifted for early viewers and critics, a full eight days ahead of the show’s premiere on Disney+.
