A major production company is looking for elevated thriller pilots that are geared towards either network or streaming platforms. They are hoping to find stories that have an eccentric but not outright comedic tone. Both ongoing, heavily serialized narratives as well as contained procedurals can fit within their slate. 

For this opportunity, the pro is focusing on adult viewers as the core demographic. They are not currently looking for young adult projects or comedies, but teen characters and humorous beats within a broader narrative are certainly welcome.

Recommended comps include True Detective: Night Country, Grimm, Evil, House of Cards, and Breaking Bad.

Want to have more success with Gigs? Here are some tips from our ISA Executives:

Successful loglines can convey a great deal of information in only one or two sentences. This includes:
A distinct main character that promises a strong emotional arc.
A clear concept and insight into how it will develop in the second act.
An understanding of how your unique character and clever concept are synergizing with one another.
An implicit tone for the project overall.

If you are struggling to encapsulate these elements into a concise logline, then we recommend submitting your project for an ISA Logline Review.

Ordering other forms of ISA Feedback can help your screenplay succeed in the highly competitive Writing Gigs environment. A writer with a track record of steadily seeking out notes and improving their portfolio is highly appealing to industry professionals.

A variety of feedback forms can be found via our Script Notes Services.
