This year, major global distributors and networks (including Paramount, Sony, and ZDF) are expected to attend in search of the next breakout hits. Three titles are already generating buzz: Boston Blue, The Miniature Wife, and Ku’damm 77, all screened exclusively at the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals.
The opening night of MIPCOM 2025 was marked by the world premiere of Boston Blue. In this gritty police drama, Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as Danny Reagan, a former NYPD detective now transferred to Boston, while Sonequa Martin-Green plays Lena Silver, a young detective from a long line of police officers. The plot blends themes of homecoming, redemption, and family tension as Reagan tries to reconnect with his son Sean (Mika Amonsen), while facing an investigation with complex ramifications.
Premiering yesterday in its international debut, The Miniature Wife has already caught attention for its daring concept. The story begins with a technological mishap: a wife (played by Elizabeth Banks, known for Pitch Perfect and The Hunger Games) is accidentally miniaturized, triggering an unexpected power struggle between the spouses. Alongside her, Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Death by Lightning) portrays the overwhelmed husband struggling to cope with the transformation. The series promises a sharp, inventive exploration of intimacy, imbalance, and modern relationships through a contemporary, darkly comic lens.
On Tuesday, October 14 at 6 p.m., the Grand Auditorium will host the world premiere of Ku’damm 77. This historical drama chronicles the evolution of a family across several decades, centered around the “Galant” dance school on Kurfürstendamm. This new three-part installment transports viewers to 1970s Berlin, a city both vibrant and divided.
Shot entirely in Berlin, Ku’damm 77 follows the success of Ku’damm 56, Ku’damm 59, and Ku’damm 63, acclaimed both in Germany and internationally, with broadcasts in over 30 countries and a nomination at the International Emmy Awards.
Beyond the screenings, MIPCOM 2025 shines a spotlight on the creator economy, encouraging participants to rethink financing, monetization, and content creation models in tune with social media, independent creators, and new digital platforms.
Among the key events: inspiring keynotes, tech workshops, Innovation Lab and Creative Hub sessions, business matchmaking opportunities, and industry panels featuring leading figures from across the entertainment world.
In short, from October 13 to 16, 2025, MIPCOM Cannes stands as a defining edition — a crossroads between traditional creative dynamics and the emerging faces of modern entertainment.
