The organizers of the Series Mania Festival and Forum are proceeding with the Lille-based event, with plans to adapt the 2020 edition depending on the rules of the French government and official decisions by the health authorities.

French in Motion and Series Mania are set to collaborate at Independent Feature Project (IFP) Week, jointly hosting a panel event titled Looking Abroad.

Series Mania Forum kicked off yesterday offering pitching sessions, panel discussions, one-on-one conversations with industry leaders and, of course, the event’s signature feature, ample opportunities for producers, writers and executives to meet and discuss projects in development.

The Series Mania Forum is set to hold an all-new Virtual Reality (VR) Co-Production Initiative at the festival at Lille Grand Palais later this month.

Series Mania’s second annual Lille Transatlantic Dialogues event is set to host leading figures from the series industry, including Netflix COO Ted Sarandos, who will deliver a keynote address.

The Twilight Zone, CBS’s forthcoming series that reimagines the cult classic, is scheduled to have its international premiere at Series Mania with star Adam Scott in attendance.

Laurence Herszberg, founder and general director of Series Mania, has revealed the 16 projects selected to be pitched during the Series Mania Forum professional event at next month's festival.

The Series Mania International Festival has named the 20 screenwriters selected for this year’s UGC Writers Campus and its guests of honor, writers-producers André and Marie Jacquemetton.

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.

Series Mania has opened its 2019 “Call for Projects” with a deadline of January 9, 2019, for producers to submit their works for the Forum’s annual Co-Pro Pitching Sessions.
