To write a pitch for a TV show start with listing your credentials in the entertainment industry. Then describe the show format and write its tagline (a 1-3 sentence description of what it it about). After that, feel free to include a more detailed description, a breakdown of episodes, and even a script for the pilot. Finish with the signature. See our pitch template for specifics.
A TV pitch is a brief (3-5 page) document that outlines the details for a TV show that the sender wants to push to the TV screen. It includes the basic and the detailed descriptions of the show, its expected ratings, staff requirements, and other details that could sway the executives to greenlight the project.
Yes, in most cases, you will need an agent to represent you and send your pitch to the TV, cable, or streaming service executives. However, you might still need a well-made pitch to persuade an agent to take you on.
