I've had an idea for a TV series in the Buffy, Angel, Supernatural vein - 60 mins per episode - but my issue is my pilot is too long. At first, my problem was slower pacing due to being a film writer but even with faster pacing my pilot came in at 72 pages and even then I cut too much out, it feels rushed, and it should be more like 80-85 pages.
So in the current market, is it viable to write and pitch a series where the pilot is longer?
Alternatively, I can free the constraints and make it a 2-part pilot, as was popular in the 80s, but is this even an option nowadays?
Thanks
