Drama Republic

Drama Republic is a leading force in UK television, specialising in bold, authored and award-winning drama. Driven by a passion for empowering talented writers, the company produces dynamic, distinctive stories for a global audience.

From the outset, Drama Republic has focused on producing vibrant, boundary-pushing work that is critically and commercially successful, including Mike Bartlett’s DOCTOR FOSTER for the BBC, starring Suranne Jones, Bertie Carvel and Jodie Comer, Hugo Blick’s THE HONOURABLE WOMAN, with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Tom Bidwell’s MY MAD FAT DIARY for E4. This was followed by a diverse range of dramas including THE ENGLISH for BBC/Amazon, with Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer, Kirstie Swain's PURE for Channel 4, and David Ireland's THE LOVERS for Sky, starring Johnny Flynn.

Most recently, Drama Republic produced ONE DAY, Nicole Taylor's acclaimed adaptation of David Nicholls' bestselling novel for Netflix, Sally Wainwright's RIOT WOMEN for BBC/BritBox and STEAL starring Sophie Turner for Amazon Prime. Next up is CALIFORNIA AVENUE, a new BBC series from Hugo Blick starring Bill Nighy, Helena Bonham Carter and Erin Doherty, set for release in 2027. In production this year is SAVIOUR, a legal thriller for ITV co-produced with Parti Productions and the third and final series of DOCTOR FOSTER.

Recent commissions include a second series of RIOT WOMEN, a BBC adaptation of Ava Pickett’s multi-award-winning play 1536, and showrunner Poppy Cogan’s adaptation of the social media sensation, BOYS OF TOMMEN for Amazon Prime.

Drama Republic has been part of the Mediawan Group since 2021.
