The Showrunner Training Workshop is an initiative consolidated as one of the leading spaces for fostering new talent and Spanish-language series projects within the Ibero-American audiovisual industry.
The Workshop, coordinated by The Core School in collaboration with CIMA (Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media), aims to provide specialized training in the creative, executive, and management functions of the showrunner, a key figure in the creation and leadership of fiction series.
The training will take place exclusively in person on September 29 and 30 and October 1, 2026, at Matadero Madrid, within the framework of Iberseries & Platino Industria. In addition, selected projects will receive two online mentoring sessions during the months prior to the in-person meeting.
In this sixth edition, the Workshop will feature the participation of prominent audiovisual industry professionals as tutors:
- Jorge Redondo, executive producer and showrunner, former executive director of Boomerang TV Ficción and producer of titles such as Inés del alma mía, Mar de plástico, Los protegidos, and Física o Química.

- Miquel Peidro, head writer, playwright, and novelist, creator and coordinator of series such as El secreto de Puente Viejo, Acacias 38, and La Moderna.
The program will also include conferences led by renowned industry professionals and one-to-one meetings with executives from production companies, studios, and platforms, offering participants real networking and business development opportunities.
The call is aimed at professionals with experience or training in audiovisual creation, writing, directing, or production who have a Spanish-language series project.
The selection committee, chaired by Enrique Darriba, executive producer and Workshop coordinator, will choose a maximum of 12 finalist projects, reserving three places for projects submitted by CIMA members.
