BBC Studios has entered into a creative partnership with the BAFTA Award-winning comedian, actor and screenwriter Jamie Demetriou.

Through the multiyear agreement, Demetriou will co-develop and co-produce new projects through BBC Studios’ production scripted portfolio and his own, People Day Limited.

The two already have a relationship, with BBC Studios acting as international distributor for Stath Lets Flats, which he wrote and stars in as the titular character.

Jonathan Blyth, director of commercial and partnerships for comedy at BBC Studios, said, “Jamie is one of the most gifted and sought-after comics in the country. We’re thrilled that he has chosen to develop his next scripted projects with BBC Studios and that we will play an active role in bringing his creative ideas to life for domestic and international audiences. We are delighted to build on the relationship we have established with Jamie and can’t wait to get started.”

Demetriou said, “I love TV. I love comedy. I love scripts. So I jumped at the chance to blend all three for BBC Studios. I’m genuinely so flattered that they wanted me to make some stuff. Because if there’s one thing I love more than stuff, it’s making it. Let’s get laughing!”
