On the Croisette, the Canneseries Festival has quietly stepped into its own spotlight. Since 2025, when MipTV moved to London, the pink-carpeted TV festival has sharpened its identity as a standalone event spearheaded by artistic director Albin Lewi.
A month before the Cannes Film Festival takes over the town, Canneseries had managed to welcome U.S., U.K. and international talent who come to town to present their shows. This year’s edition drew Adam Scott, Judith Light, Noah Hawley and Leslie Linka Glatter, alongside global pop phenomenon Jisoo, underscoring the festival’s widening cultural reach. Canneseries also kicked off with Richard Gadd’s hugely anticipated HBO drama “Half Man” simultaneously with its U.S. debut, and hosted high-profile premieres including Apple TV+’s “Star City” and AMC+/Shudder’s “The Terror: Devil in Silver.”
