- Canneseries will host its tenth edition Feb 11‑16, featuring premieres like HBO’s "Half Man" and Apple TV+’s "Star City".
- Albin Lewi secured a first‑time on‑stage interview with White Lotus producer David Bernad about its upcoming St Tropez season.
- Richard Gadd’s HBO drama "Half Man" debuted simultaneously at Canneseries and in the U.S., marking a rare dual launch.
- Apple TV+ premiered "Star City" at the festival, while AMC+/Shudder unveiled "The Terror: Devil in Silver".
- Jisoo joined the roster alongside Adam Scott, Judith Light, Noah Hawley and Leslie Linka Glatter, expanding Canneseries’ cultural reach.
- Laetitia Recayte will replace Benoit Louvet as festival chief in 2027, marking a leadership transition.
Why it matters: French TV producers and Cannes' hospitality sector gain from the festival's high‑profile line‑up and new deals, while competing markets lose potential networking opportunities; the event's 10‑day run could spur at least several multi‑million‑dollar productions and boost local tourism.
