Background
We received funding from Screen Yorkshire's FLEX Development Lab and from the British Film Institute’s Young Audience Content Fund to run a writers’ room. During the room we worked with a group of amazing writers to discuss, dissect and construct our first season. Following this we collated our pitch deck, show bible and detailed episode outlines.
