As part of their on-going Drama Initiative, Virgin Media Television is currently seeking submissions for a new six-part drama to screen at night for 2019/2020.

The network say they are looking for series which explore contemporary themes and have new, exciting visual styles, as well narratives focusing on original ideas.

"Confident storytelling is a must. We are seeking high quality series, with great characters, strong plots and emotionally engaging tales that reflect the contemporary world, the issues and dramas that affect all our lives, and the milestones of modern living," said the network in a statement.

The budget for successful series will be made up of local funding, grant initiatives and international partners complementing the network's initial investment. Companies submitting projects should demonstrate a successful track record in raising such funds and managing multiple stake holders.

Virgin Media TV also state that individuals with strong, developed concepts may be required to combine their pitch with a production company with a proven track record.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, 31st August 2018. They can be submitted here.
