The second day of the TV Drama Festival opens with the presentation of the TV Drama Pioneer Award to Walter Iuzzolino, curator and co-founder of Walter Presents, the streaming platform that has created a wealth of new opportunities for distributors of foreign-language scripted series. Register for the free event here.

Next, we’ll explore how co-production models are evolving in a panel featuring ZDF Studios’ Robert Franke, Dynamic Television’s Daniel March and LEONINE Studios’ Caroline Kusser.

The award-winning writing team of Robert and Michelle King will discuss their long-standing collaboration that has resulted in hit series such as The Good Fight and Evil.

Then, Lionsgate’s Sandra Stern will outline how the independent studio is partnering with established and new talent to serve the needs of commissioners across broadcast, cable and streaming.

Later, Fremantle’s Bob McCourt will discuss the trends shaping the new golden age in European scripted.

The day’s final keynote will be delivered by creator and executive producer Miranda Kwok, whose The Cleaning Lady has been renewed for a second season on FOX.
