“The abundance of talent present in the applicants for this year’s SSL made selecting six extremely difficult. The six chosen have a fantastic mix of skills and talents that I’m looking forward to collaborating with and initiating to the world of hour long drama writing,” adds Floyd Kane.

Alumni of the Scripted Series Lab are currently writing on series including “Allegiance,” “Bet,” “Crew Girl,” “High Potential,” “Private Eyes West Coast,” “Saint-Pierre,” “Wild Cards,” “Yaga,” and more.

The 2026 Scripted Series Lab is led by the Pacific Screenwriting Program with lead sponsorship from @paramountplusca, additional funding from the @cmf.fmc and @creativebcs, and in-kind support from the @viffest.

Much of what the Pacific Screenwriting Program is today is owed to the vision, stewardship, and dedication of Liz Shorten, who served as a founding board member from 2018 through earlier this year.

Thank you, Liz, for your years of advocacy, leadership, and commitment to supporting screenwriters and the broader BC film and television community. Your impact on the program — and the people within it — has been immense.
