Here is part 3 in our ongoing series to help you format your spec script. While fellowship season is also quarantine season, we will try to post a few examples once a week of how some popular shows approach format.

Our plan is to cover as many shows as possible. We’re working through the Warner Brothers Television Workshop’s List of Accepted Shows for 2020. If we haven’t covered the show you’re spec-ing, or you have additional, more targeted questions, please send us an e-mail at library@wgfoundation.org.

While we cannot send you scripts in their entirety (We are not the copyright owners and do not have the right to distribute scripts beyond the physical library), we can dig through the scripts and try to get you the info you need. Also, where possible, we’ll try to link to where award-nominated scripts and early drafts of pilots are available online.
