5 x 20’ Reality Series: Cordia

Following the success of Tanwen & Ollie, S4C is seeking a production company to create a new 5 x 20’ reality series featuring Cordia, the band from North Wales.
The content will be digital-first, appearing on S4C’s digital platforms.
Cordia has agreed to grant S4C exclusive access to their lives during the summer of 2027. There is no need for companies to contact the band directly; we are looking for the best idea and creative team to make the most of the access we have already secured.

S4C is pleased to announce the appointment of Catrin Cooper as its new Film Commissioner and Dafydd Llewelyn as Drama Commissioner.
