Paris, 28 February 2019 - MIPTV and CANNESERIES today announce the 16 projects in the Official Selection of In Development, the second edition of the Cannes Drama Creative Forum dedicated to fast-tracking drama series production.

The TV series is a genuine laboratory of creativity, and events like In Development, which put creatives at the heart of the business, are essential to engender the hits of tomorrow. The first edition was a success, both in terms of the quality of the content presented and the opportunities, which flowed from it. What's more, we are proud to have gone on to develop some of those projects, said Pascal Breton, Founder and CEO of Federation Entertainment.

French investment fund La Fabrique des Formats will offer financing for up to two series from the selection backed by a French producer or co-producer.

We are very proud of this year's selection which is particularly diverse in terms of genres and countries represented. In Development provides these projects with access to key decision-makers and the opportunity to move into production before reaching international audiences. In Development is fast becoming a central part of the MIPTV experience to discover, develop and distribute great content, noted Laurine Garaude, Director of Television at Reed MIDEM, which organises MIPTV.

The success and relevance of a forum like In Development speaks for itself. The proof is in the fact that we received a new record number of submissions. After the achievement of the first edition, the international aura of In Development is now undeniable. We are very proud of the high-quality and promising projects that will be pitched this year, said Beno t Louvet, Managing Director of CANNESERIES
