ABOUT US
Witchery Pictures is the UK’s first premium microdrama & scripted studio.
Combining quality scripted credentials with a creator mindset, we’re passionate about connecting with our audience through great storytelling.
Witchery was founded in 2017 with backing from All3Media by Siobhan Finnigan and Judith King, who jointly co-originated and developed Sanditon (ITV/ Britbox/ PBS Masterpiece) by Andrew Davies at their previous employers Red Planet Pictures.
Witchery has won multiple commissions with buyers including the BBC, ITV, Sky, AMC and Paramount Plus, where it won its first greenlight in 2024 . Now a true indie, Witchery has a slate of short-form, long-form and feature projects in development backed by BBC Studios, ITV Studios and All3Media.
Witchery is the first UK producer to secure micro-drama investment from a major distributor: BBCS have boarded our micro-thriller CHEF’S KISS which we plan to shoot early 2026.
