ITV has promoted Callum Dziedzic to Drama Commissioner, reporting to Polly Hill, ITV’s Director of Drama.

In his new role, he will work on ITV’s drama slate alongside Polly Hill and Commissioning Editor Huw Kennair-Jones. His promotion follows his tenure as Assistant Commissioner, Drama and Comedy, a role he has held since January 2023.

Since joining ITV’s commissioning team from Patrick Spence’s ITV Studios label, Dziedzic has helped deliver dramas and comedies including the upcoming Code of Silence, starring Rose Ayling-Ellis, as well as Karen Pirie, Piglets, Professor T, and Grantchester.

He was selected for ITV’s high potential leadership programme Amplify in 2023, and in the same year also played a key role in delivering the ITV Studios Disabled Writers in Development initiative.

Callum Dziedzic said: “I’ve loved working with Polly, Nana, and the scripted team to showcase the brilliant British writers and producers shaping today’s drama and comedy landscapes. I’m excited to build on that by championing more fresh voices and unexpected perspectives in drama – finding stories that challenge and push our storytelling in bold new directions – while always keeping mainstream audiences at the heart of everything we do.”

Polly Hill said: “I’m delighted that Callum is stepping up to Commissioner – I have no doubt he’ll be brilliant in the role. He has fantastic taste and a deep understanding of what makes an ITV drama. I love working with Callum, and I’m so pleased he’ll continue to be a key part of my team, championing outstanding drama for ITV.”

To support its growing slate, ITV is currently recruiting for a new Assistant Commissioner, Comedy and Drama, to replace Dziedzic in his previous role.
