Entertainment & Factual Entertainment
VMTV is seeking bingeable, easy watch factual entertainment series and original formats, with a particular focus on celebrity driven formats that offer access, personality, humour and unfiltered emotion; reality formats that are character driven, high energy and talkable; and innovative reality/gameplay hybrids. Property, including renovation, buying, renting, housing challenges, is an area of interest, as well as health and wellbeing across physical, mental, preventative, or emotionally resonant journeys.
Factual Series
VMTV will consider returnable factual series that offer strong emotional impact, compelling access and distinctive worlds. They have a particular interest in True Crime; Blue-light and medical access series that bring viewers inside emergency services, and high-pressure environments; unique access projects that open the door to unseen or misunderstood communities; story driven investigative series; and provocative conversation starters that challenge the status quo while resonating without ever feeling like homework.
Scripted
VMTV is also inviting authentic, untold original Irish drama proposals with broad appeal and clear international potential. They are particularly focused on drama based on real events in the vein of Mr Bates vs The Post Office and youth skewing, contemporary, societal issues driven drama similar in tone or approach to Heated Rivalry or Adolescence. They are seeking multipart drama series only.
PLEASE NOTE: Deadline for submissions regarding Rounds 60 & 61 of CnM Sound & Vision Fund for Virgin Media Television is 12pm on Thursday 7th May 2026.
