Call for Submission – SERIESLY BERLIN PITCHES 2025


03.06.2025

Dear creators, producers, and friends of Seriesly Berlin,

SERIESLY BERLIN PITCHES 2025 is entering the next round - and we welcome you to submit your new serial projects! This year we are opening submissions for two presentation formats:

Seriesly Berlin Co-Production Pitch
For projects already in development and actively seeking international co-production and financing partners. If your series projects have international co-production and distribution potential, this is the platform for you.

Seriesly Berlin Writer's Pitch
Especially for authors and creators who are developing original fictional series that are still in the early stages of development - with or without secured funding or fixed partners. It's all about the strength of your idea and vision.

SERIESLY BERLIN PITCHES bring together international creatives, producers, financiers, sales agents, distributors, funding institutions, broadcasters, and streamers — all ready to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of storytelling. Projects will pitch on the big stage in front of a specialist audience and a jury of industry experts, compete for prizes and benefit from the opportunity of one-on-one meetings with potential partners.

Think your project idea has the spark to stand out? Here’s what you need to know before submitting:
