Jude Law and Ben Jackson’s London-based independent production company Riff Raff Entertainment has hired former House Productions development executive Georgia Ince to bolster its development team, Screen’s sister publication Broadcast has revealed.
Ince has been appointed development producer and will work from development through to production on Riff Raff’s slate of TV projects.
Riff Raff is coming off the back of major Netflix crime thriller Black Rabbit, starring Law and Jason Bateman, which reached number one in the Netflix UK top 10 following its launch in September. Riff Raff’s credits also include Venice premieres True Things and The Order, with upcoming productions include a Sharon Horgan-scripted contemporary romantic drama film set in London.
It also has a first-look deal with France’s Studio TF1, which has provided “significant funding” for the indie to further expand its team, develop its TV slate and gives it access to distribution.
Riff Raff and Studio TF1 are developing The Foreign Desk together, an original political thriller written by Marek Horn (Rivals), and with Law attached to star.
The indie is also building projects with writers including Jack Thorne, Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, Kirstie Swain, Jeremy Brock, Whit Anderson, Jonathan Glatzer and Temi Wilkey.
Ince, who reports into head of film and TV Katie Sinclair, most recently worked with showrunner Ben Vanstone on the upcoming seventh series of See-Saw Films’ hit espionage drama Slow Horses.
She was a development exec at Conclave producer House, based out of Manchester in the House North office, from 2023-24. She also previously worked with Vanstone on Paramount+ UK original A Gentleman in Moscow. She is a graduate of the Sky-partnered script editor trainee scheme.
Ince noted she was joining Riff Raff at a “dynamic time for the company”.
“The team’s exceptional taste and ambition is clear across a truly compelling slate, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and working with the team to develop bold, distinctive projects,” she said.
Sinclair added: “I am thrilled to welcome Georgia Ince into the Riff Raff fold. Her stellar track record in high-end television production and development as well as her fantastic editorial taste and energy make her the perfect fit for Riff Raff Entertainment as we expand our team and slate.”
