ITV orders more Fresh Cuts
April 4, 2025
Fresh Cuts is back and for 2025, and ITV is seeking to commission six People of Colour (POC) led and/or Deaf, Disabled or Neurodivergent (DDN) led production companies to each produce one individual x 22 mins, unscripted programme for ITV’s YouTube channel and ITVX.
ITV are looking to commission one-off programmes that can be shown in Black History Month and UK Disability History Month. The closing date for submissions is April 26th.
ITV Commissioning Editor Richard Botchway will oversee the series for ITV’s commissioning team alongside Nahrein Kemp, DEI & Talent Lead and both will select the companies, who will be appointed by May.
Fresh Cuts is funded through ITV’s Diversity Commissioning Spend, a ring-fenced £80 million for diverse projects over the next three years.
Botchway said: “Fresh Cuts is a brilliant opportunity to get an ITV commission, and the wide brief gives lots of creative scope to interested, People of Colour led and/or Deaf, Disabled or Neurodivergent (DDN) led companies. This is a fantastic opportunity and I can’t wait to see the ideas that come in.”
Kemp added: “We are very excited to bring back Fresh Cuts for a fourth year. We have a brilliant body of work from the filmmakers over the past couple of years, as the strand has evolved, and again we have a new brief for 2025, in the form of six, 22 min single programme commissions from diverse led companies.”
