We’ve seen the rise, fall, and rise again of companies, representatives and genres, as the industry and audiences change.
We’ve counted more than 22,000 votes from 4,000 voters, and tallied the list down from the more than 3,000 eligible specs that have hit the market since 2010. With 90 new spec scripts making the Hit List this year, we’ve now had the pleasure of seeing 707 different specs land on our annual Best Of list, representing the endlessly creative minds of 883 writers. With the release of our eighth annual list, we’re incredibly proud to shine a light on this year’s writers, and the projects that made them the talk of the town in 2017. With 2017 about to slip into our rearview, it’s time once again to present the best spec scripts of the year, as voted on by Hollywood.
