New speakers include:

Two Brothers Pictures founders Harry and Jack Williams have joined the cast to discuss the craft of creating scripted hits at The C21 International Drama Summit.
They began their writing partnership in 2007 with the BBC2 sitcom Roman's Empire, starring Mathew Horne and Chris ODowd. The show was subsequently piloted for American television, with Kelsey Grammer in the lead.

In 2014 they wrote and executive produced BBC1's Golden Globe and Emmy nominated drama The Missing. The series, which starred James Nesbitt, was also nominated for four BAFTAs, including Best Drama. This success led to a second series, starring Keeley Hawes and David Morrissey, which broadcast at the end of 2016 to critical and commercial acclaim.

Harry and Jack have sought to nurture the best writing talent in the UK and internationally. In its short history, the company has already produced shows for Amazon, HBO, AMC, BBC, ITV and Sky, including the hit-comedy award-winning FLEABAG. The latest production is suspense thriller LIAR for ITV, with Ioan Gruffudd and Joanne Froggatt in the lead. Future productions include a new eight part thriller called White Dragon with new writers Mark Denton and Jonny Stockwood, as well as Rellik, a six part thriller told in reverse which they are coproducing alongside New Pictures.

Walter Iuzzolino, Chief creative officer, Walter Presents, joins the line up where he will be revealing a hot new acquisition (currently under wraps) for the Walter Presents platform and discussing all facets of its creative development. Walter Presents launched in the UK in January 2016 to huge critical acclaim. Deutschland 83 the new service's launch series, quickly became the highest rating foreign language drama in UK TV history. The service is a partnership between Global Series Network and Channel 4 and is exclusively available, free-of-charge to UK viewers, via Channel 4's digital hub, All 4.

Sophie Leveaux, Director of acquisitions at French commercial broadcaster TF1, will join a panel on the 'The New Procedurals' in a discussion about the increased appetite in Europe for this type of storytelling. Part of the discussion will include Gone, a 12-episode drama series starring The Good Wife and Sex and the City alum Chris Noth. Gone is the first series to come out of an innovative partnership between TF1, RTL and NBC Universal Studios International that the three companies launched last year to produce U.S.-style procedural dramas for the global market.

Jeremy Fox, Founder and CEO, Atrium TV, joins the line up. Atrium TV is the Howard Stringer-backed "commissioning club" that will develop series prospects and make then available to OTT and SVOD outlets that become club members. Fox will take part in a wider discussion on emerging SVOD.

Tom Hastings, director, drama, original programming Bell Media, has joined the line-up as we pay special attention to Canadian drama this year. As the director of drama in the Original Programming Unit. Hastings supervises the commissioning, development and production of original dramatic series across Bell Media's family of channels including CTV, Space, Bravo, MUCH, The Movie Network, and HBO Canada. His team's successes include the Emmy award-winning series, Orphan Black, the International Emmy award nominated series, 19-2 and Cardinal, recently lauded in the national press. New drama series for the 2017 and 2018 include The Detail and The Disappearance on CTV and Carter on Bravo.

Polly Williams, vice president, scripted development at eOne UK, has been confirmed in the drama development strand. Williams currently focuses on distinctive, original, commercial high-end television drama with global appeal. Working closely with independent producers and writers across the UK and alongside eOne?s television hubs in LA, Toronto and Sydney, she develops original content for the UK and international market.
