Netflix and BBC Studios‘ BBC Studios Audio unit have unveiled the commission of comedy podcast The Big Pitch With Jimmy Carr. It will be co-produced by Netflix Podcasts and BBC Studios Audio and be available for audiences globally from today, Wednesday, May 28.
“There are over 27,000 different Netflix sub-categories. And they can get pretty niche. From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead,’ the genres get really, really niche,” the partners quipped in a Wednesday announcement. “The Big Pitch With Jimmy Carr sees a parade of much-loved comedians pitch movie ideas to Jimmy, our sceptical host, which fit Netflix’s most obscure sub-genres. Guests are challenged to figure out the plot and cast under the pressure of Jimmy’s withering gaze. At the end of the pitch, Jimmy decides whether to move to greenlight or condemn our guests and their dubious ideas to development hell.”
