CANNESERIES Industry, the new B2B program of CANNESERIES, takes place at the heart of the Festival and will hold its second edition on April 23–25, 2026. Born from the belief that human connection should be at the center of the series industry, and building on past editions of the Writers Club and Producers Club, this event offers a unique format designed to foster authentic and constructive exchanges.
Here’s what awaits you over the three days of CANNESERIES Industry:
🤝 Meet key players in the industry: Screenwriters, producers, broadcasters, composers, casting directors, directors, showrunners, distributors, buyers, actors, agents, and technical professionals all come together at CANNESERIES Industry to represent the entire series creation chain, share their experiences, and discuss the challenges facing the sector.
📊 Understand market trends thanks to Panels that provide insight into the evolution of the series industry, new production and distribution dynamics, and the realities of other professions across the creative chain.
🌐 Grow your network: Networking moments and informal meetings allow professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and initiate new collaborations.
🎬 Find inspiration: Attend exclusive discussions with creators, showrunners, and industry experts who reveal the behind-the-scenes of series creation.
CANNESERIES Industry also includes private sessions reserved for producers, broadcasters, composers, screenwriters, casting directors, docuseries professionals - forming the Festival's six Clubs. These clubs create a privileged space with a limited number of participants, a bubble of creativity in which they share their current issues and their vision for the future of their profession.

“The CANNESERIES Producers Club is where I want to be next April – among the most exciting international television producers of the moment. It's an opportunity to reflect together on the future of television and leave feeling inspired and connected after a weekend in Cannes.”
Samantha McMillon - Producer (Greyzone, Redemption) / Quay Street Productions
“CANNESERIES was a truly valuable experience. The highly informative sessions and one-on-one exchanges with writers and producers were particularly enriching. It's so important to have a festival that creates a space for these connections and conversations.”
Julia Fidel - Head of International Fiction and Acquisitions / ZDF
“For me, CANNESERIES Industry is the must-attend professional boutique event in Europe dedicated to series, with an exclusive selection of talent, sessions, and tailor-made programs. The atmosphere is both relaxed and inspiring, and I love clearing my schedule for a few days to meet amazing people and get inspired.”
Sébastien Folin - Producer (Diana Boss, À la poursuite du Rougail Saucisses) / La Belle Télé
“If the series had to be summed up in one word, it would be: collaboration. CANNESERIES has understood this well, building us a wonderful playground. A rare place where we can invent together, mixing desires, languages, and stories.”
Larry Bass - Producer (Le Club des Miracles, Borderline) / Shinawill
“CANNESERIES is a privileged place to meet high-level fiction executives who are currently developing and financing series, in order to discuss what works—and what doesn't—in a constantly changing world. It's also an opportunity to discover series in the presence of their creators and producers. All this in the magnificent setting of Cannes.”
