The latest research by the European Audiovisual Observatory (EAO) shows that the amount of series and films produced in Europe is falling. The research analyzes the amount of produced feature series and films made for TV and SVoD (Subscription Video on Demand) industry in Europe in 2023, countries of origin, the work of international co-productions and main productions and commissions in the industry.
TV content production in Europe reached a tipping point in 2023 when the number of titles fell by 6% across all platforms, according to new data presented in a study titled “Audiovisual Fiction Production in Europe – Figures for 2023”. In addition, high-end programs (with 13 episodes or less per season) ended their boom, as the number of titles remained the same (down 2% from a year earlier).
In total, 10% of all TV feature titles produced in Europe were co-productions. Public broadcasters ordered more than half of the game titles produced in Europe, 55%. Private broadcasters ordered 31%, and global streamers 14%, which is a lower percentage compared to the previous period. However, some of the essential elements of TV fiction production in Europe have not changed despite the decline. Most of the hours produced were from telenovelas and soap operas. In addition, series with 13 episodes or less per season accounted for more than half of all titles produced.
Only 3% of the more than 2,000 production houses that produced at least one title between 2015 and 2023 did so in each of the last nine years. This is a result of the high rerun rate of TV series. On average, between 2015 and 2023, first seasons of TV series accounted for more than half of all seasons produced annually.
Independent producers produced more than 70% of the titles (including all formats and shows with 13 episodes or less per season). Other independent production by broadcasters working for third-party broadcasters accounted for 9% and 11% of titles.
The top producers of feature TV titles were ARD, Banijay Group, ZDF and Mediawan Leonine Alliance. Banijay Group, RTL and IfTV had the most geographically diverse selection of production countries. When it comes to clients, the BBC, Netflix and Amazon dominated.

Evropsko Istraživanje Pokazalo Pad u Proizvodnji TV SadržajaNajnovije istraživanje Evropske audiovizuelne opservatorije (EAO) pokazuje da količina proizvedenih serija i filmova u Evropi opada. Istraživanje analizira količinu proizvedenih igranih serija i filmova snimljenih za TV i SVoD (Subscription Video on Demand) industriju u Evropi u 2023. godini, njihove zemlje porekla, rad međunarodnih koprodukcija i glavnih producenata i naručioca u industriji.
Prema novim podacima iznetim u istraživanju pod nazivom „Proizvodnja audiovizuelne fikcije u Evropi – brojke za 2023.“ proizvodnja TV sadržaja u Evropi dostigla je prekretnicu u 2023. kada je broj naslova opao za 6% na svim platformama. Pored toga, high-end programi (sa 13 epizoda ili manje po sezoni) okončale su svoj bum, pošto je broj naslova ostao isti (manje 2% u odnosu na godinu ranije).
Ukupno, 10% svih TV igranih naslova proizvedenih u Evropi bile su koprodukcije. Javni emiteri naručili su više od polovine igranih naslova proizvedenih u Evropi i to 55%. Privatni emiteri naručili su 31%, a globalni streameri 14%, što je manje procenat u odnosu na prethodni period. Međutim, neki od suštinskih elemenata produkcije TV fikcije u Evropi nisu se promenili uprkos padu. Većina proizvedenih sati bila je iz telenovela i sapunica. Pored toga, serije sa 13 epizoda ili manje po sezoni činile su više od polovine svih proizvedenih naslova.
Samo 3% od više od 2000 produkcijskih kuća koje su proizvele najmanje jedan naslov između 2015. i 2023. učinilo je to u svakoj od poslednjih devet godina. Ovo je rezultat visoke stope repriziranja TV serija. U proseku, između 2015. i 2023. godine, prve sezone Tv serija činile su više od polovine svih sezona proizvedenih godišnje.
Nezavisni producenti su proizveli više od 70% naslova (uključujući sve formate i emisije sa 13 epizoda ili manje po sezoni). Ostala nezavisna produkcija emitera koji rade za emitere trećih strana činila je 9% i 11% naslova.
Najbolji proizvođači igranih TV naslova bili su ARD,Banijay Group,ZDF i Mediawan Leonine Alliance. Banijay Group, RTL i IfTV imale su geografski najraznovrsniji izbor zemalja produkcije. Kada je reč o naručiocima, domirali su BBC, Netflix i Amazon.
Izvor: Evropska audiovizuelna opservatorija: 20 najboljih naručilaca serija sa 13 epizoda ili manje po sezoni (2023). Ove brojke su indikativne jer se svaki naslov pripisuje samo jednom emiteru, čak i u slučaju koprodukcija koje uključuju više emitera.

BEKOP 2024 – Nikolina Vujinović on AI and IP Rights
“The contemporary Challenges in Intellectual Property Law” BEKOP Conference 2024 was held at the Chamber of commerce and industry of Serbia on Tuesday, December 10. Our law firm partner Nikolina Vujinović held a lecture entitled “Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property Law”.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is probably the most current legal topic in the world, which has managed to raise a number of new regulatory issues, and it is attracting increasing attention on the domestic scene. AI products increase the need for regulation in the context of intellectual property (IP), which is why constant education, debate and initiative are important in order to address this topic as much as possible at the local level.
This year’s program of the BEKOP conference, conducted in cooperation with the The Intellectual Property Office, included, in addition to AI, the topics of copyright and related rights, patent law, indications of geographical origin and advocacy in the world of intellectual property, and opened a discussion on current and important topics in this area.
The overall program of BEKOP includes an annual conference and accompanying programs that provide specific knowledge through workshops, lectures and seminars.
“Vujinović & Partners” law firm deals extensively with AI, which you can read about in recent articles about AI in the context of the creative industry, and the importance of IP for technology companies operating in the virtual world. Also, we wrote about the new domestic strategy for the development of AI with special reference to its application in creative industries. Among other things, Nikolina Vujinović was appointed as the representative of the creative sector in the Chamber of commerce and industry of Serbia, in order to include and contribute to this sector in the formation of regulations that will have AI as a subject.
We are proud of the fact that we managed to upgrade the long-term practice of our office in the domain of IP with expert knowledge related to the application of AI and thereby contribute to the development of legislation and practice in this area.
BEKOP 2024 – Nikolina Vujinović o Veštačkoj Intelegenciji i Pravu Intelektualne Svojine
U Privrednoj komori Srbije je u utorak, 10. decembra održana nova BEKOP Konferencija 2024 pod nazivom ”Savremeni izazovi u pravu intelektualne svojine”. Tom prilikom, partner u našoj advokatskoj kancelariji, Nikolina Vujinović, održala je predavanje pod nazivom ”Veštačka inteligencija i pravo intelektualne svojine”.
Veštačka inteligencija je verovatno najaktuelnija pravna tema u svetu koja je uspela da pokrene niz novih regulatornih pitanja, a na domaćoj sceni izaziva sve veću pažnju. Proizvodi veštačke inteligencije povećavaju potrebu za regulativom u kontekstu intelektualne svojine, zbog čega je važna konstantna edukacija, debata i inicijativa kako bi se ta tema što više obradila i na lokalnom nivou.
Ovogodišnji program BEKOP konferencije, sproveden u saradnji sa Zavodom za intelektualnu svojinu je, osim veštačke inteligencije, uključio teme autorskih i srodnih prava, patentnog prava, oznaka geografskog porekla i advokature u svetu intelektualne svojine, te otvorio diskusiju o aktuelnim i važnim temama u ovoj oblasti.
Ukupan program BEKOP-a uključuje godišnju konferenciju i propratne programe koji pružaju specifična znanja putem radionica, predavanja i seminara.
Kancelarija ‘’Vujinović & Partners’’ se temom veštačke inteligencije bavi kontunirano o čemu možete čitati u nedavnim tekstovima o veštačkoj inteligenciji u kontekstu kreativne industrije, i važnosti intelektualne svojine za tehnološke kompanije koje posluju u virtuelnom svetu. Takođe, pisali smo o novoj domaćoj Strategiji razvoja veštačke inteligencije sa posebnim osvrtom na njenu primenu u kreativnim industrijama. Pored ostalog, Nikolina Vujinović je imenovana za predstavnika kreativnog sektora u Privrednoj komori Srbije, u cilju uključivanja i davanja doprinosa ovog sektora u formiranju regulative koja će za predmet imati veštačku inteligenciju.
Ponosni smo na činjenicu što smo dugogodišnju praksu naše kancelarije u domenu intelektualne svojine uspeli da nadogradimo sa ekpertskim znanjima u vezi sa primenom veštačke inteligencije i time damo doprinos razvoju zakonodavstva i prakse u ovoj oblasti.
Nikolina Vujinović Učestvovala na 4. Samitu Glumaca u Londonu
Naša Nikolina Vujinović imala je divnu priliku da ove godine učestvuje na četvrtom izdanju Samita glumaca (Actors’ Summit) u Londonu. Glavni cilj ovog tradicionalnog događaja je da okupi organizacije koje zastupaju prava izvođača kako bi razgovarali o aktuelnim regulativama i poteškoćama sa kojima se glumci suočavaju.
Činjenica da naša nadležna partnerka godinama participira na ovom događaju, zalažući se za prava lokalnih izvođača u Srbiji i njihovih krovnih organizacija, a zatim radi i na unapređenju prava glumaca na međunarodnom nivou – čini nas ponosnim. Samit glumaca postaje sve važniji iz godine u godinu s obzirom na to da u velikoj meri pomaže lokalnim organizacijama da poboljšanju svoje razumevanje važnih pitanja za ceo sektor – kroz deljenje praktičnih iskustava iz čitave Evrope. Pored toga, ovo okupljanje generiše nove zajedničke inicijative i zagovaračke politike, posebno kroz krovne organizacije koje produciraju Samit.
Program je bio fokusiran na praktične teme današnjice, uključujući i kontekst veštačke inteligencije pri čemu su članovi organizacija, ali i spoljni učesnici, ponudili svoja mišljenja o lokalnim okolnostima. Tako je jedna od prezentacija bila fokusirana na zaštitu glumaca od brzog porasta generativne AI. A nakon praktičnog iskustva razmatranja profesionalnih stavova i pravnih pitanja u vezi sa pravima glumaca, bilo je zadivljujuće posetiti renomirano londonsko pozorište i videti izvanrednu produkciju predstava koje se trenutno igraju na Vest Endu.
Događaj je organizovan u saradnji AEPO-ARTIS-a (krovne organizacije za kolektivno upravljanje izvođačima u 29 evropskih zemalja) i SCAPR-a (međunarodne asocijacije za razvoj praktične saradnje između krovnih organizacija izvođača), uz lokalnu podršku BECS-a (britanskog kolektiva za audio-vizuelne izvođače).
Zahvalni smo organizatorima na pozivu i radujemo se što ćemo i sledeće godine prisustvovati ovom značajnom događaju.

Nikolina Vujinović Attended the 4th Actors’ Summit in LondonOur Nikolina Vujinović had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the fourth edition of the Actors’ Summit in London this year. The main goal of this traditional event is to bring together CMOs (Performers’ Collective Management Organizations) that represent actors to converse about the rights and difficulties faced actors.
The fact that our Managing Partner has been bolstering these events for years, advocating for the rights of local actors in Serbia and their umbrella organizations, and then taking part in cooperative conditions to enhance both local and international performers’ rights, is something we are proud of. The Actor’s Summit is becoming more and more important every year as it greatly helps local organizations to improve their understanding of important issues for the sector – by sharing practical experiences from across Europe. In addition, this gathering generated joint initiatives and advocacy policies, especially through the umbrella organizations that organize the Summit.
The discussion was focused on practical topics of today, including the context of artificial intelligence, with members of the organization, as well as external participants, offering their opinions on local circumstances. Thus, one of the presentations focused on protecting actors from the rapid rise of generative AI. After the hands-on experience of addressing professional views and legal issues regarding actors’ rights, it was delightful and captivating to attend a renowned London theater in the evening and see outstanding productions of some of the greatest plays currently playing at the West End.
Event was organized in cooperation between AEPO-ARTIS (collective management umbrella organization for performers operating in 29 European countries) and SCAPR (international association for the development of the practical cooperation between CMOs), with the hosting of BECS (UK’s collective management organization for audio visual performers).
We really appreciate the invitation from all of the organizers once more, and we look forward to attending this significant event the following year.
