Between March 1st and March 31st, 2024, we tracked a total of 30 new specs on the market. This was an increase from February mostly due to one management firm’s big push into the market. Of the 30 scripts we tracked, 3 were TV pilots and 3 were Animation projects. Comedy dominated the top genre spot once again with 16 projects associated with the genre. Drama came in a distant second place with 8 projects. Then the genres Fantasy, Horror and Thriller tied for third place.
