• BBC Northern Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen have launched the new collaboration Green Lit. Green Lit will support emerging writing, production, directing and acting talent from Northern Ireland through the production of three new standalone scripted drama or comedy-drama films.

The BBC has launched a new initiative called "The Northern Ireland Scripted Initiative" aimed at fostering the development of scripted content from Northern Ireland. This initiative seeks to support local writers, producers, and directors by providing them with opportunities to create high-quality drama and comedy for both television and online platforms. It includes a development fund to help nurture new talent and projects, with the goal of increasing the representation of Northern Irish stories and voices on screen. The initiative is part of a broader commitment by the BBC to invest in regional content, enhancing diversity and creativity in the UK's broadcasting landscape.
