The Series Mania Forum in Lille expects more visitors this year, as media companies actively seek co-production partners and new financing opportunities in a consolidating market. Angela Jain of Disney+ EMEA will give her first major public address, while Sarah Aubrey of HBO Max, Monty Sarhan of SkyShowtime, and Nicole Morganti of Prime Video will also be present. South Korea will host for the first time, with Francesco Capurro highlighting the growing international fan base for Korean content in Europe. The Co-Pro Pitch will present sixteen projects, selected from over four hundred submissions, with a first-time participant from Kyrgyzstan. Budget-consciousness is a noticeable trend toward shorter series and accessible genres like crime and light drama.
