The Seri­al Pro­du­cers Work­shop 2026

May 4–7, 2026 | Berlin

Applic­a­tions are now open for the Seri­al Pro­du­cers Work­shop 2026, a newly designed pro­gram respond­ing to the real­it­ies of today’s evolving tele­vi­sion industry. The work­shop invites emer­ging pro­du­cers, cre­at­ive exec­ut­ives, and industry pro­fes­sion­als from across Europe to apply and take part in an intens­ive, future-focused experience.

Over four intens­ive days, ten selec­ted par­ti­cipants will work dir­ectly with lead­ing fig­ures shap­ing inter­na­tion­al tele­vi­sion, includ­ing Frank Spot­nitz (The X‑Files, The Man in the High Castle), Linda Green (former BBC Stra­tegic Plan­ning Head, con­sult­ant to Net­flix and Sky), Danna Stern (Fauda, Sht­isel), and com­mis­sion­ing edit­ors from major Ger­man broad­casters and streamers.

The pro­gram aims to empower pro­du­cers through­out the TV-mak­ing pro­cess, cov­er­ing the cre­at­ive lead­er­ship required to shep­herd premi­um series from devel­op­ment through pro­duc­tion, pitch train­ing, European co-pro­duc­tion fin­an­cing, rights and leg­al struc­tures, and inter­na­tion­al sales strategy. Ses­sions com­bine mas­ter­classes with prac­tic­al work­shops, includ­ing pitch eval­u­ations and case stud­ies with act­ive pro­du­cers and writers.

The fourth day is ded­ic­ated entirely to the Seri­al Eyes #14 Final Pitch at Soho House Ber­lin, where twelve writers present their developed pro­jects to industry pro­fes­sion­als from across Europe.
