World Screen Newsflash recaps the highlights of MIPTV last week.

MIPTV came to a close in Cannes today as organizers Reed MIDEM begin to set out a new vision for the show in 2020 to meet the evolving needs of the content distribution and production industry.

Lorenzo De Maio, a partner and the head of the TV advisory at Endeavor Content, sat down with World Screen’s Anna Carugati at Series Mania’s Lille Transatlantic Dialogues.

Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, took part in Series Mania’s Lille Transatlantic Dialogues today with Black Mirror’s Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, discussing his take on “disruption,” the platform's approach to risk and the opportunities of interactive storytelling.

MIPTV is now two markets in one, with distribution and development as the two main pillars of the show, says Laurine Garaude, director of the television division at Reed MIDEM.

Following a successful move from Paris to Lille in 2018, this year’s Series Mania will again take place in the Hauts-de-France region.

The ramifications of direct-to-consumer roll-outs, the enduring power of broadcast, SVOD buying trends, the booming interest in Spanish-language drama and a vibrant Latin American formats market were among the trends that dominated news coming out of NATPE Miami.

The next edition of NATPE Miami is just around the corner, taking place at the Fontainebleau from January 22 to 24.

Diversity and content ingenuity were among the key topics addressed under the market's theme “The Big Shift.”
