We’re looking for ideas that could hold an audience’s attention for 6-8 episodes in our narrative true crime podcast, Unravel.


That means one story for a whole season, with some characters who span the whole series, and with twists and turns. We don’t want to tell 6-8 separate stories or case studies, we want to tell a single, compelling story.

 

We accept pitches all year round, but to be considered for our next Unravel starting production in 2025, we’d need to hear from you by Monday, 17th of March.

 

We are looking for ambitious and exciting projects that bring big new audiences for the ABC, and garner critical acclaim. The story you pitch to us could be a traditional true crime story, or it could take the genre in a new direction.

 

If the story has a strong narrative, and is surprising and engaging, we will consider it.

 

Please fill out as much of the following form as you can. We hope to respond to you within 60 working days.

 

Good luck, and thank you!
