The selected projects, from Argentina, Chile, Spain, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico, stand out for the diversity of genres, themes, and formats represented, ranging from comedy and thriller to historical drama, teen fiction, and vertical series.
The Showrunner Training Workshop, one of the leading programs for promoting new talent and Spanish-language series projects in the Ibero-American audiovisual industry, has selected the twelve projects that will participate in its sixth edition, an in-person event held as part of Iberseries & Platino Industria 2026.
The Showrunner Workshop is sponsored by the Madrid Film Office, academically coordinated by The Core School, and supported by CIMA (Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media). Its objective is to offer specialized training in the creative, executive, and management functions of the showrunner, a key figure in the creation and leadership of fiction series.
In addition to the in-person sessions, selected participants will receive two online mentoring sessions in the months leading up to the event, with the aim of strengthening the creative, strategic, and production development of their projects.
