The winners of the second edition of The MIP Drama Screenings were revealed in the Palais’ Grand Auditorium this evening, in a ceremony led by TV presenter Ali May. Reed MIDEM’s Laurine Garaude and Jerome Delhaye were on hand to give out awards. This year included awards in two distinct categories — for finished series and for works in progress — and from two different juries, as well as awards chosen by MIPDrama Screenings buyers.
The Grand Jury, made up of leading international showrunners and programme creators, were first up to unveil their choices:
