we hate boring.
Blar Productions is built on one simple rule:
no boring television
We make stories that make you lean in, laugh harder, feel something, or stay up way too late hitting “next episode.” Everything starts with a strong script and the right creative partners, and we love working with hard-working creatives — whether they’re emerging or have 30 years under their belt.
Talent is talent.
Our sweet spot sits between co-viewing and YA, but we don’t fence ourselves in. If it’s smart, surprising, emotionally honest, or just wildly fun, we’re interested. Twist-heavy drama? Absolutely. Satire with teeth? Even better. Big-hearted comedy, farce, or horror? Yes, please.
At Blar Productions, we’re here to make good TV — distinctive, energetic, and built to entertain.
What We're working on.
We’re developing bold, inventive series—from co-viewing and YA to drama, comedy, and genre—built with theatre-driven creativity and smart, efficient production.
