This year, the international jury for Series Mania Forum consists of CBSSI’s Meghan Lyvers as jury president, France Télévisions’ Nathalie Biancolli, SVT’s Anne Croneman, Banijay Rights’s Caroline Torrance, and Fremantle’s Christian Vesper. Series Mania Forum will take place from March 25-27, 2019.
Laurence Herszberg, founder and general director of Series Mania, remarked, “To date, more than a dozen previously pitched shows have been brought to the screen thanks to coproduction deals or agreements finalized at Series Mania. This year the selection is very diverse, and I hope that it will inspire our participants and our elite team of jury members.”
