Cardiff Productions is an award-winning production company based in the heart of the Welsh capital.

​We make modern, groundbreaking documentaries; innovative specialist factual series; entertaining returnable formats; ambitious scripted shows; and compelling, creative digital projects.

Our mission is to produce bold, popular and diverse content.

Bold

Our projects are noisy by nature, never failing to ask the difficult questions, whilst being playful with the subject matter.

They are timely and contemporary, but always bring emotion, humour and high drama to the fore. We strive for originality, and our content combines visual flair with creative storytelling.

Diverse

We are committed to diversity in the broadest sense – whether it’s nurturing on-screen and off-screen talent from a wide range of backgrounds; engaging with diverse subject matter in our films and projects; or using our content to promote diversity of thought about the issues in wider society.

Popular

We take pride in making shows that are unapologetically popular.

Our content appeals to a broad demographic, and reach out to viewers across the UK and the world. We may grapple with challenging topics, but our central mission is always to inform and entertain the widest possible audience.
