Paris, 9th March 2017 - MIPTV today announces this year's official selection for the second edition of MIPDrama Screenings, which offer the international drama community, including 450 top buyers, an exclusive look at some of the most exciting upcoming series on the global marketplace.

The selected new drama series will be presented at MIPTV in front of an invited audience of leading acquisition executives and media from around the world. This year, the event is also open to producers, distributors, agents and other executives.

A total of six awards will be presented at the Closing Ceremony. Two awards (one in each category) will be selected by a stellar international Jury of writers, directors and executive producers. The members of the prestigious Grand Jury are: Frank Spotnitz, Executive Producer and Writer, ( The X-Files, The Man in the High Castle ), Lars Blomgren, Chairman, Scripted Exchange, Endemol Shine Group, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Filmlance International, and Executive Producer ( The Bridge, Beck, Spring Tide ), Virginie Brac, Screen Writer ( Cannabis, Paris, Engrenages ), Ran Tellem, Head of International Content Development for Mediapro and former Head of Content for Keshet, Executive Producer ( Homeland ) and Jalil Lespert, Director and Actor, ( Iris, Yves Saint Laurent, Versailles ).

Acquisition executives in attendance can also vote for their favourite projects in each category.

The MIPDrama Screenings showcase is back with an impressive line-up of drama series that once again illustrates the diversity and quality of global output in the field.
