Three productions have been selected for development as part of the 2020 SQ + Stan Premium Drama Development Fund.

Queensland writers were asked to create a pitch for Stan executives, in response to a creative brief provided by the Australian streaming platform. This is the second year that Screen Queensland and Stan have partnered to invest in the development of scripted series.

Congratulations to the three writing teams (listed below) that will be engaging in development consultations with Stan creative executives.
