The third season of Seriesly Berlin officially kicks off in September 2026, but before the curtain rises in the German capital, the spotlight turns to Lille.
In March 2026, the global series industry will gather at Series Mania. The Series Mania Forum (24–26 March 2026) has become a key meeting hub for series producers, directors, writers, broadcasters, and streamers. With its packed program of conferences, panels, pitch sessions, and a dynamic marketplace, the Forum offers an ideal business environment for high-level networking, creative exchange, and new partnerships.
To help emerging creators from Berlin-Brandenburg enter this arena with confidence and visibility, Seriesly Berlin is once again organising a delegation trip to the Series Mania Forum, funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. After the success of last year’s inaugural delegation - praised by participants, partners, and industry contacts alike - we are excited to bring this opportunity back.
Up-and-coming series talents from the capital region can now apply to join the 2026 delegation and take their projects, network, and international prospects to the next level.
Selected participants in the delegation trip will receive the following benefits:
- Accreditation for the Series Mania Forum
- Travel allowance of up to EUR 500 (reimbursed upon presentation of receipts)
- Curated activities at the Forum to support international networking and effective use of the platform
Conditions of participation:
- A series project in development with potential for international co-production and distribution, ideally with a mid-range production budget
- Company headquarters located in Berlin or Brandenburg
- Only one person per production company is eligible for funding
- Availability to travel to Lille on 23 March and return on 26 March 2026
- Applications must be submitted via the Seriesly Berlin submission platform. If you do not already have one, you will need to create an account for this purpose.
The application deadline: 16 January 2026
The Seriesly Berlin selection committee will review all submissions promptly and award five delegation spots.
The Seriesly team looks forward to receiving your applications!
