The Pilot Programme for Series Co-Productions is a three-year initiative of the Council of Europe, home of Eurimages. It supports high-quality series made as international co-productions and aims to empower independent producers and foster new relationships. Currently supported by 22 donor institutions from 21 member States of the Council of Europe, the Programme has attracted strong interest and delivered promising results—paving the way for its continuation beyond the initial three-year phase, with plans already taking shape for an extended horizon through 2027.
