Announcing Our 2026 Moonshot Pilot Accelerator Semi-Finalists

Here are the 28 TV pilot scripts chosen as our semi-finalists, representing the top 3% of all 2026 Moonshot Pilot Accelerator submissions!

We received almost 1,000 submissions for the 2026 Moonshot Pilot Accelerator, and this week, we announced our 28 semi-finalists! These scripts represent the top 3% of all submissions.

These semi-finalists were chosen by our Selection Committee of Accelerator alums from the 96 quarter-finalists. They were chosen based on the strength of their TV pilot scripts, their application questions, and their 2-minute pitch videos.

Each of our semi-finalists will have their script read by two of our industry judges — showrunners, series creators, and high-level TV writers. Plus, they'll be invited to an exclusive virtual networking event.

Our judges will lend their expertise from years working in the industry to select our finalists, who will participate in an interview round.

Finally, we will choose our 6-8 fellows! These fellows will hone their pitches and gain industry knowledge from our guest experts. Then, they'll have the opportunity to pitch to major companies and representatives during Pitch Week this fall.
