The European Achievement in Fiction Series Award has been awarded annually by the European Film Academy since 2019. As a new category, the Academy introduces the European Achievement in Fiction Series Award, to reflect the changes in the cinematic landscape. [1] German series Babylon Berlin is the first recipient of the prize. EFA chairwoman Agnieszka Holland said: “For younger generations, series are a much more popular format than theatrically released movies and if we want to remain relevant for our audiences, the EFAs need to reflect that.” [2] [3] [4]
