ITV has promoted Callum Dziedzic to drama commissioner.
Dziedzic’s promotion follows his tenure as assistant commissioner for drama and comedy, a role he has held since January 2023. He joined from Patrick Spence’s ITV Studios label and has played a key role in delivering several high-profile dramas and comedies, including the upcoming Code of Silence, starring Rose Ayling-Ellis, as well as Karen Pirie, Piglets, Professor T and Grantchester.
Dziedzic is reporting to Polly Hill, ITV’s director of drama, working alongside Hill and Commissioning Editor Huw Kennair-Jones.
Dziedzic said: “I’ve loved working with Polly, Nana and the scripted team to showcase the brilliant British writers and producers shaping today’s drama and comedy landscapes. I’m excited to build on that by championing more fresh voices and unexpected perspectives in drama—finding stories that challenge and push our storytelling in bold new directions—while always keeping mainstream audiences at the heart of everything we do.”
Hill said: “I’m delighted that Callum is stepping up to commissioner. I have no doubt he’ll be brilliant in the role. He has fantastic taste and a deep understanding of what makes an ITV drama. I love working with Callum, and I’m so pleased he’ll continue to be a key part of my team, championing outstanding drama for ITV.”
