Serial Killer is an international festival of TV and online series. It is the first event of this kind in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Festival is held annually in Brno, Czech Republic. It aims to offer current and high-quality European series.[1][2] Most of the screenings, which take place in the cinemas or theaters, consist of the first two episodes of a series.[3] The festival also premiered the #martyisdead web series, which later won the International Emmy Award.[4]

The program of the Festival consists of several sections. In the Main competition section, an international jury announces the Best Central and Eastern European Series.[3] The International panorama section presents series mostly from Western Europe. The Focus section focuses on a series from a different country each year, for example, Denmark, Norway or Great Britain in the past. The Festival also offers industry section TV Days for film and television professionals.[5]

The seventh season of the festival will take place from 24 September to 29 September 2024.[6]
