A great TV drama captivates audiences with compelling characters, intricate storytelling, and emotional depth, weaving together elements of suspense, conflict, and relatable human experiences to keep audiences engaged and invested in the unfolding narrative. Streaming has made it so easy to become obsessed with new shows like BEEF and THE BEAR. Not to say that network dramas aren't still killing it - classics like GREY'S ANATOMY or LAW & ORDER are some of the most watched shows by fans new and old, both live and on streaming. Current shows like SEVERANCE and THE LAST OF US have fans waiting on the edge of their seats for a new season. Whether it's gossiping about SUCCESSION with your coworkers or fanning out over the immaculate production design and characters on SHOGUN, you know your TV dramas better than anyone!

We are on the hunt for ALL types of TV drama scripts - all stories are welcome!

We are looking for scripts like:  EUPHORIA, POWER, SUITS, BILLIONS, BALLERS, THE CROWN, THE REGIME, THE CLEANING LADY, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, YOUR HONOR, YELLOWSTONE, YELLOWJACKETS, THE L WORD, TULSA KING, SHAMELESS, DEAD TO ME, BIG LITTLE LIES, FARGO, DEVS, RESERVATION DOGS, ATLANTA, ER

But that's not all, we want to see all new, unique and fresh ideas that we haven't seen before!

For the last 12 years, Stage 32 Contests have led to dozens of success stories including writers getting representation, sold, optioned, staffed, given writing assignments and getting produced. No other contest opens more doors and we want to do the same for you.
