The latest format for 4.0 ‘THE INTERN’ has been commissioned!
Cowshed Collective is proud to announce that our production division, Cowshed Studios, has been commissioned by Channel 4 to produce a bold new four-part digital entertainment format titled The Intern, launching on Channel 4.0.
We spoke with our Head of Development, Nathan Turnbull about the inspiration behind the format and how he envisions the final project! YOU CAN FIND THAT HERE.
Starring YouTubers and Twitch sensation Angry Ginge, Harry Pinero, Nella Rose & Darkestman! The Intern blends competitive reality with creator-led storytelling. In each fast-paced, socially driven episode, 20 ambitious young contestants will battle it out in a series of high-stakes, personality-driven rounds, all in pursuit of one goal: to become the Intern for their chosen star host.
This is no ordinary job interview, from rapid-fire questions to creative challenges, the series is designed to push contestants out of their comfort zones and onto the screens of Gen-Z viewers who demand more than just surface-level entertainment. The result? An energy-charged series with big personalities, creator cameos, and a dream gig up for grabs.
Commissioned for Channel 4 by Sacha Khari, Head of Digital Commissioning, the show is tailored specifically for the Channel 4.0 audience, offering a fresh take on mentorship, ambition, and digital fame.
George Cowin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Cowshed Collective, said:
“The Intern is the perfect example of the kind of IP we love building at Cowshed — smart, format-driven, platform-native and built around talent that speaks to the next generation. We’re thrilled to partner with Channel 4.0 on a series that will entertain and inspire in equal measure.”
