Boffola Pictures has confirmed that Eva O'Flynn, the former comedy department development executive from Channel 4, has joined the company in the newly created role of Head of Development.

Eva, who took up her role on Monday 8th July, joined Channel 4's comedy team in 2022 where she worked across the development slate and supported new talent. She worked closely on various script developments, Blaps and Playgrounds pilots and secured a yet-to-be-announced series commission. Before joining Channel 4 she had worked with both the BFI and Film4.

Boffola Pictures, established by Shane Allen and Kate Daughton in 2021, has just finished production on the second series of Am I Being Unreasonable?, the BBC One comedy thriller starring Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli. The company, which recently released Comedy Blap pilot Peaked, is currently prepping for a second series of BBC One sitcom The Power Of Parker and is set to launch Josh Glanc's Playground special on Channel 4's digital platforms soon.

Eva O'Flynn says: "I'm thrilled to be joining the formidable team at Boffola. I've long admired their comic instincts, creative wisdom and exceptional quality of work. The chance to head up development, continuing their meticulous approach and ardent support of talent, is truly exciting. It's a joy to have been so warmly welcomed and I look forward to everything to come."

The team at Boffola comment: "Eva has proved herself a very shrewd comedy brain whose taste, notes and ideas are impeccable. Her sparky charms will be a boost in making sure we continue to be a happy home for writers and performers to feel the love and support they deserve."
