Actor Dictionary | One-Off TV Script Deal

This is a typical deal that a studio will make with a writer for a TV series where the pilot script has yet to be written… especially if you're an unestablished writer. The writer is typically engaged to perform the initial step of writing a pilot script, and from there the studio is given the option to further engage the writer to render additional services on the pilot episode and/or series both from a writing and producing capacity. The studio can stop the process of development with that writer at any time. This is a way for the studio to hedge their risk when they're developing  a TV series for a network. If the studio is unhappy with the script, they can cut their losses early having only committed to the fee for the pilot.
