Lineup announced for MIPdrama
RX France (formerly Reed MIDEM) today confirmed the line-up for this year’s MIPDrama, the annual premium drama showcase in Cannes offering international buyers an exclusive first-look at a curated selection of the most anticipated series in production around the world.

The 7th edition of this unique event is open to all registered buyers. After 2 years online, it returns to the prestigious Debussy Theater on Sunday 3 April 2022 (14.30 CEST), as the curtain raiser to the newly reshaped MIPTV (4-6 April).

As previously, 15-minute exclusive previews of 10 upcoming series will be featured, each selected for their writing and production values, originality, and their worldwide appeal. After the screenings, participating buyers will be invited to vote for their “Coup de Coeur” at a networking cocktail at which the winner will also be revealed.

The selection, from a record number of nearly 50 submissions, was made with the support of the MIPDrama Buyers Advisory Board, comprised of leading global industry executives with extensive experience in acquisitions, co-productions, and international business development: Ignacio Barrera, SVP, Sales, & Business Development, Telemundo Global Studios (USA); Geraldine Easter, Director of Programming & Acquisitions, Nine Network (Australia); Aline Marrache-Tesseraud, Senior Vice President, Development, Original Scripted Content, Universal Music Media & Content (France); Anette Rømer, Format Consultant, STV Production (Denmark); Sarah Wright, Director of Sky Cinema & Acquisitions, Sky (UK); Viktoria Wasilewski, Head of Content, Amazon Italia Services Srl (Italy).

Advisory Board Member Anette Rømer said: “It is a huge pleasure to take part in the curation of the MIPDrama selection 2022. The entries have truly impressed: volume, quality and global reach is unparalled; the opportunities for writers, producers, directors, and talent are historic and the audience continues to be spoilt for choice. MIPDrama will once again be a unique showcase”.

Added Sarah Wright, “I am heartened to see the sheer range and quality of the international drama projects submitted and shortlisted this year. It is brilliant to see our industry bouncing back to full throttle - small but much needed hope in such difficult, unsettling times.”
