Background


The Lighthouse Film and Television was founded in early 2020 by Hilary Salmon, Radford Neville and Nick Betts. Combining an unparalleled range of skills and experience developed over many years in the industry, the team’s mission is to develop and produce world-class British drama for audiences around the globe. The team’s extensive credits include Criminal Justice, Three Girls, Luther, Doctor Who, Silk, Good Omens, Our Girl, Youngers, A Discovery of Witches, Undercover, Wuthering Heights and The Borrowers.

The Lighthouse team has long-standing, trusted relationships with both on- and off-screen talent - including directors, actors, producers, and most importantly, writers. In many cases, we have collaborated with writers across multiple shows over many years, building mutual loyalty and creative understanding. Several of these projects have won major awards, including Criminal Justice, House of Saddam and Three Girls.

Our Netflix film Scoop, starring Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell, was nominated for an Emmy (Outstanding Television Movie) and a Broadcast Award (Best Single Film). Billie Piper also received a BAFTA nomination for Leading Actress for her performance. The Lighthouse also produced two series of 61st Street in association with AMC Studios. Created by Peter Moffat and starring Courtney B. Vance, the show was filmed in Chicago and premiered in the US in April 2022.

Recent productions include Murder Before Evensong - an adaptation of the Reverend Richard Coles’ novels for Acorn and Channel 5, released in autumn 2025 - and Pierre, an original series by Roy Williams and John Donnelly, starring David Harewood, coming soon to Channel 4. We are also developing a wide-ranging slate of new drama projects for leading UK broadcasters and global streaming platforms.

 

Our Mission


Distinctive

We believe in TV that has impact. We champion new ground-breaking ideas that don’t conform to existing conventions and that are as thought provoking as they are entertaining.

Generous

We are serious about what we do and we care about the people we work with, so we do everything with a generosity of spirit, kindness, heart and a sense of fun and playfulness.

Diverse

We seek out a diversity of talent, thinking and approach which is reflected across our output.
