S4C commissions 60-episode vertical drama Signal for Hansh
Event Summary
S4C has ordered 60-episode Welsh-language vertical drama Signal for Hansh, its TikTok channel, following the performance of earlier series Yr Alwad.
Verified Facts
- S4C has commissioned Signal, a 60-episode vertical drama for Hansh, its TikTok channel. Mojo Productions will produce the romance, which follows a boy from Cardiff and a girl from rural Wales. The commission follows S4C’s first vertical series Yr Alwad, also made by Mojo, which earned nominations in vertical-series and short-form scripted categories. Writers include Brynach Higginson, Mari Izzard, Rhiannon Williams, Alexander Williams and lead writer Gwenno Hughes.
Deal Board Interpretation
S4C is moving vertical drama from a one-off experiment into a recurrent youth-content format. The second commission, the repeat producer and the 60-episode order create a clearer buying signal for Welsh-language mobile-first scripted work.

Why It Matters
S4C’s second vertical-drama commission turns one experiment into a repeatable commissioning lane: 60 episodes for a youth-facing TikTok channel, from the same producer behind the broadcaster’s first vertical series.
