The world premiere of Hulu's **The Testaments**, the series adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel and sequel to **The Handmaid's Tale**, will open this year's Series Mania, with creator Bruce Miller in attendance along with Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, and Ann Dowd. The festival will also host the international premiere of **The Audacity**, the Silicon Valley drama for AMC. Notably, the number of series submitted dropped from 450 to 380, which festival directors Laurence Herszberg and Frédéric Lavigne see as a concrete sign that the peak TV era is over. British broadcasters are increasingly seeking European co-production partners, while Russell T. Davis and Steven Moffat are hosting masterclasses.
