Seriesly Berlin Sets Third 2026 Edition, Adding “Stories At Risk” Initiative and a New Creator Track

The scripted storytelling conference returns to Fotografiska in Berlin’s Mitte for its third edition, with a focus on creative freedom and a new strand for creators, plus expanded premiere-screening programming.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Seriesly Berlin, the scripted-storytelling conference, will return for its third edition in 2026 with expanded programming that organizers say will examine what creative freedom means in scripted storytelling. Deadline reported that the 2026 event will include a new “Stories At Risk” initiative and an additional creator track, aiming to broaden the conference conversation beyond development and production into the conditions shaping story-making.

According to the report, “Stories At Risk” will serve as the event’s thematic anchor, taking a “deep dive” into creative freedom in scripted storytelling. The initiative is framed around the ways industry professionals navigate constraints that can affect what gets made and how, with organizers emphasizing the policy and rights questions embedded in creative work rather than treating the topic as purely artistic.

Deadline also reported that Seriesly Berlin is adding a separate strand focused on creators. Organizers did not describe specific programming formats in the information available for publication, but the new track is described as a “creator strand,” indicating that the conference will devote space and sessions to creator-facing issues alongside the broader industry discussions that Seriesly has hosted in prior years.

The main conference event will be held at Fotografiska in Berlin’s Mitte district, with organizers described that way in the report as the museum, gallery, and cultural hub. The venue choice places the event in a public-facing cultural setting, aligning with Seriesly’s stated emphasis on storytelling as a mainstream cultural and business enterprise.

In addition to the Fotografiska programming, the report says Seriesly Berlin will add a new venue for premiere screenings, with CineStar Kino in der cited as the partner site for that component. Organizers did not specify the number of screenings or titles in the provided information, but the change points to a larger exhibition component for work presented during the conference.

The 2026 expansion arrives after Seriesly’s prior editions, which organizers described through Deadline as a multi-year effort that is now reaching its third iteration. Deadline’s report indicates the conference structure is evolving, with both thematic and track-based additions intended to bring more participants into the core questions of story creation, distribution, and the ecosystem that supports scripted work.

As of June 24, 2026, Deadline is the only record cited for the 2026 changes in the information provided for this story. Organizers’ full agenda, speaker lineup, and submission or participation details were not included in the supplied material and would require confirmation from Seriesly Berlin’s official communications once released.

Why It Matters

  • The “Stories At Risk” initiative indicates that the conference will devote more attention to rights and conditions affecting scripted storytelling.
  • A dedicated creator track may change who participates in core discussions, potentially shifting session emphasis toward creator-specific issues.
  • Adding a premiere-screening venue suggests broader public visibility for conference programming and work shown during the event.
  • Venue selections in Berlin’s Mitte and partner cinema space reflect an expanded footprint that could affect scheduling and logistics for attendees.
  • With the main and screening components split between locations, organizers are likely to coordinate programming across multiple facilities during the event period.
