ITV Studios adds four labels to disabled writers program
ITV Studios has relaunched its "Disabled Writers in Development" initiative, involving four major scripted labels: Big Talk Studios, Hartswood Films, Quay Street Productions, and Silverprint Pictures. The program is supported by ITV's £1 million Diversity Development Fund.
Key Takeaways
- Big Talk Studios, Hartswood Films, Quay Street Productions, and Silverprint Pictures are joining the initiative.
- The relaunch is tied to ITV’s £1 million Diversity Development Fund.
- The program is called Disabled Writers in Development.
- ITV Studios is expanding the initiative across four scripted labels.
Why It Matters

That ties diversity funding directly to scripted development rather than keeping it isolated as a standalone effort. For the wider streaming and TV production ecosystem, the notable detail is the use of ITV’s £1 million Diversity Development Fund to support the relaunch.
