Somewhere between the pitch, the sizzle, and the pilot, there comes a time where the developers need to attach talent in order to increase the value of the production. Those few concepts which do make it through the heart aching process of selection are then given the opportunity to put everything they have on the line and to create a pilot for the networks and/or public to view. People and companies from around the world spend months (or at least they should spend months) preparing pitches and sizzle reels all in the hopes of being picked up by a network or production company. The number of shows that are pitched to different networks and companies each season can be nearly unimaginable. So what happens if you land a role on a pilot? Well, it is first important to understand what you’re starring in. Although the world of television is changing due to new technologies and platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, the basic premise of a pilot still exists. A pilot is the developer or producer’s way to show the world what the new show will be about and who will be the regulars on the show. While the level of excitement will vary depending on the role that you are given, and the show that you are being cast on, there still is an air of excitement regardless of the project.īut what happens to this excitement if this is a show that you’ve never heard of, or even more so if it is a show that has never been aired? *Cut to close-up*, congratulations, you’ve been cast on a pilot!įor (almost) every television show, there is a pilot.
