Series Mania has announced that Isabelle Degeorges, President of Gaumont Télévision, will be honored with the Fifth Annual “Woman in Series Award.” The award, which recognizes leadership and contributions to the audiovisual industry, will be presented during the Series Mania Awards Ceremony on March 25 at the Théâtre Barrière. On March 26, Degeorges will also participate in an exclusive conversation moderated by Marta Balaga of Variety.
The “Woman in Series Award” was introduced in 2021 to highlight influential women in the industry. Previous recipients include Christina Sulebakk (HBO Max EMEA), Mo Abudu (The EbonyLife Group), Nicola Shindler (Quay Street Productions), and Francesca Orsi (HBO Drama Series and Films).
Laurence Herszberg, Founder and General Director of Series Mania, emphasized Degeorges’ role in bringing French series to a global audience. She cited Lupin and Becoming Karl Lagerfeld as examples of productions that have extended the reach of French storytelling. Francesco Capurro, Director of Series Mania Forum, described Degeorges as a leader whose approach and career make her a fitting recipient of the award.
Degeorges expressed gratitude for the recognition, calling it a tribute to her 25 years in the industry. She has produced several series for major platforms, including Lupin (Netflix), Signal (Paramount+), Pax Massilia (Netflix), and In the Shadow of the Forests (Apple TV+).
A graduate of Sorbonne University, Degeorges started her career at Images et Compagnie (Lagardère Group) before joining Gaumont in 2011. Since 2013, she has led the company’s French television division. She is also Vice President of USPA, France’s leading guild for audiovisual producers.
