Screen Australia has established the NCIS: Sydney<\/em> Script Department Program, a collaboration with Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay company) and Paramount+.<\/p>\n

The program will offer up to five early- to mid-career screenwriters the opportunity to be embedded in the script department for NCIS: Sydney<\/em> season one, the local iteration of the global franchise.<\/p>\n

The selected writers will be given the opportunity to join the series\u2019 script department and benefit from the backing of experienced creatives, including senior script coordinators, writers and editors, who will guide the process and contribute directly to the writers\u2019 learning and professional development.<\/p>\n

Screen Australia’s head of content, Grainne Brunsdon, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to facilitate this program, which will enable early- to mid-career writers to completely immerse themselves and learn in a writer\u2019s room of an established world-leading franchise here in Australia. It\u2019s an exceptional chance to upskill our local creatives and position them to achieve global success with local productions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an increasingly competitive global entertainment landscape, this insight and experience are invaluable. We\u2019re pleased to be working with partners Paramount ANZ, CBS Studios and ESA, who share our passion for creating career pathways in the local sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Executive VP and chief content officer at Paramount ANZ, Beverley McGarvey, said: \u201cWe are so pleased that the first international series of the iconic NCIS<\/em> franchise will be shot here in Australia. NCIS: Sydney<\/em> comes with many fantastic opportunities for local actors, production crew and writers to be part of such a legacy franchise, and now with the NCIS: Sydney<\/em> Script Department Program, there is even more scope for Aussie writers and creatives to learn, grow and contribute on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

CEO of Endemol Shine Australia, Peter Newman, said: \u201cWe are delighted to announce our partnership with Screen Australia for this very important writer\u2019s initiative on NCIS: Sydney<\/em>, the first international iteration of this iconic franchise. We are proud to champion local emerging creative talent and look forward to seeing them thrive, learning alongside a number of Australia\u2019s most experienced screenwriters to deliver an incredible series for Paramount+. We can\u2019t wait for NCIS: Sydney<\/em> to showcase Australian storytelling on an international stage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
