Full list of nominees in the Best Polish TV Series of the Year Competition at BNP Paribas Warsaw SerialCon!

The competition for the Best Polish Series of the Year 2024, along with all its accompanying categories is the first ever initiative in Poland and it is a response to the needs of the Polish television and streaming industry. It is an excellent opportunity to bring together the best Polish productions that attract millions of viewers not only in Poland, but also abroad. The revolutionized television industry has been making waves in Poland for almost a decade. The reach of the most popular streaming services reaches most homes, and rarely does anyone use just one “provider.” The development of movies, but especially series made available through these services is noticeable. The stations have long been engaged in producing their own original productions, and in recent years they have increasingly been working with Polish filmmakers. Polish series are excellent, and their positive reception is noticeable among European and global audiences. 

BNP Paribas Warsaw SerialCon will offer for the first time in Poland the opportunity to set side by side individual productions, creators, actors in as many as eight competition categories. An international jury will be responsible for selecting the best ones, the line-up of which of which will be presented soon! Meanwhile, the full list of nominations in all eight categories of BNP Paribas Warsaw SerialCon has just been published for review!
