Alex Ritman The 2024 lineup of the Brit List, the U.K.’s Black List-esque platform for unproduced scripts across film and TV, has been revealed, with a 1980s-set crime series from NBCUniversal topping the pile.

Now into its 16th edition, the list is compiled from recommendations by British production companies, talent agencies, sales companies, financiers, distributors and broadcasters.

Since 2020, it has featured both film and TV scripts, while this year a minimum of 10 recommendations were needed for inclusion.
