The name of our show was Y.O.U.N.G, which stands for Young Operation Undercover New Generation.
The team is called Young by their work buddies, who are way older than them. We came up with this because it's like a code that is used when working with e.g the police, FBI, etc.
It's Subgenre is Comedy. The sense of humour lets audience know more about the characters. Comedy is also used in most E4 shows. Also we decided to add comedy, because we think that it will more connect with teenagers who are our target audience, as a Crime Drama on it's own may sound a little bit boring to this age group, as they like things exciting, funny, and dramatic on the same time.
The Target Audience are teenagers. We decided that because most of the Crime Dramas are for adults, and we wanted to do something different. The main characters are also teenagers, so the audience will relate to any of the situations.
We came up with 3 main characters, who are currently studying on university. They became young detectives, and are very important and useful for their agencies.
We have Ian, the only male in the group, he is good looking which might interest girls to watch the series, and two girls - Alexandria and Anna Lee. Alex is the smartest and the most sensible one, very sarcastic which might be very welcomed from the teenagers side because the use of sarcasm is funny, and seen as popular. Anna Lee, she's the most pretty though. She is more like most of the teenagers girls. Cares about her looks, boys, celebrities etc.
I decided that Ian should be played by Paul Wesley, because he is very popular with the age group that is going to be our target audience. He currently plays in Vampire Diaries as Stefan, and he got famous thanks to that role.

The show will be on Channel E4 (we decided that, because E4 channel has very successful shows for teenagers), around evening (6pm) or later, because than most of the teenagers are home, and watch TV. It could be on 5 days a week, and have around 3 seasons. The next seasons may have other main characters, with similar story but different personalities etc.
Social Aspect: We wanted to create a facebook page for the show, as it is very popular for teenagers to spend time on it these days. It's easy - one person "likes" the page, it shows on it's profile, and 400 other people will see it. We thought of giving some informations about the show on a page, some pictures of behind the scenes, and some activities for the fans which may be rewarded later.
We'd like to be close to our audience, talk to them a lot, ask about their opinions etc.
A short plot:
3 of the young detectives are send back to College, and they have to act like new students. They are send for a mission to find informations about somebody. In time the two girls in the group slowly get attracted to Ian, which cause tension, also some funny actions. Even though they have to work together, they might do things to sabotage and embarrass each other in front of Ian, and also their bosses in the agency. They will have to pretend to be normal teenagers once again.
