Screen Australia and Dynamic TV are thrilled to announce How to Kill a Client, a dark comedy series from Easy Tiger Productions (Colin from Accounts, The Twelve) has been selected for the Dynamic Television Scripted Initiative
How to Kill a Client is the third project – following Fox Hunt and Dark Mode – to receive $100,000 in development funding through the initiative ($50,000 from Screen Australia and $50,000 from Dynamic Television), helping to bring its captivating story to life.
Adapted from the book How to Kill a Client by Joanna Jenkins by writers Sarah Dollard (Bridgerton) and Scout Cripps (The Undertow), How to Kill a Client interweaves the murder investigation of corporate high-flyer Gavin Jones with the final six months of his tumultuous life. The series follows what happens when the partners of a highly reputable law firm become prime suspects in the murder of a client. But the investigation proves trickier than expected, as the killer has the motive, means and a broken moral compass – not to mention the smarts – to get away with it.
The series will be produced by Ian Collie (Four Years Later), Rob Gibson (Territory) and Nat Lindwall (Totally Completely Fine), with Catherine Millar (NCIS: Sydney) attached as director.
Screen Australia Director of Narrative Content Louise Gough said, “On paper, How to Kill a Client draws audiences into a compelling whodunnit structure with laughs and mysteries at every turn. We are proud to support this project and its strong creative team alongside Dynamic Television, as it showcases the breadth of talent among Australian screen partitioners.”
Carrie Stein, Dynamic’s President Global Scripted Television said, “How to Kill a Client is a razor-sharp, darkly funny series with a knockout creative team behind it. From the first read, we were drawn to its twisted take on ambition, loyalty, and the moral gray zones of the corporate world. This is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven storytelling the Scripted Initiative was designed to support, and we’re thrilled to help bring it to life for global audiences.”
The Dynamic Television Scripted Initiative, a collaboration between Screen Australia and Los Angeles-based Dynamic Television, supports distinctive scripted television projects that show potential for global success.
