Postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the CanneSeries festival confirms its holding from October 9 to 14, in parallel to the MipCom market (October 12 to 15), in a physical version on the Croisette and digital on the CanneSeries live platform.
The third edition of this series festival, which should have been held from March 27 to April 1, retains the same structure. Six of the ten series originally scheduled for March in competition and nine of the ten short series competition programs will be back. The full program, still under construction, will be announced on September 22.
The president of the jury will not be in Cannes
American producer Gale Anne Hurd (who participated in the creation of Terminator and produced The Walking Dead ) remains president of the jury but will not be in Cannes, just like actress Judith Light ( Madame is served ), awarded a prize special.
They will meet the public via the new CanneSeries live platform, launched during the festival duration in addition to the current website. This platform will offer free access to “exclusive and original” content such as series projections, masterclasses and interviews.
The development of the festival "will depend on the decisions taken by the health authorities in October", and "appropriate measures concerning the conditions of reception and management of flows will be taken accordingly", specify the organizers.
