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.

S4C is pleased to announce the appointment of Seiriol Dawes-Hughes as its new Sports Commissioner. 

Seiriol is a familiar name to many in Welsh sports broadcasting as Executive Producer of Sgorio, S4C’s flagship football programme, produced by Rondo Media. 

Following the success of the 7 Comedies announced last year, S4C is calling again! 

S4C has been the home of Welsh comedy for decades and we are looking again for the next wave of comedy voices to bring laughter back to the heart of S4C.

We'd like to receive original ideas for 10-minute-long comedy pilots. This is an opportunity for us to experiment with new formats and experience audience response in a fast and creative way.
