The 3rd Cannes International Series Festival is a television festival that took place in Cannes, France.[1] The festival was scheduled to be held on 27 March to 1 April but postponed to 9 to 14 October, due to COVID-19 pandemic-related concerns and was held in-person/virtual hybrid.[2] American writer and director Darren Star served as the patron of the festival edition.[3]

The Best Series of the Festival award went to the Swedish crime drama Partisan.[4]
