Created in 2013, this one-year programme trains TV series writers, run by directors Anaïs Carpita, Antonin Martin-Hilbert and Antoine Szymalka and admitting six students per year via its own concours. It is aimed at young authors, directors or producers who already have confirmed screenwriting training or practice, and treats series writing as a specialisation layered on top of existing fiction-writing ability rather than a first introduction to screenwriting.

The one-year curriculum combines theoretical coursework, case studies and meetings with French, European and American professionals, structured around four main strands: serial dramaturgy across genres and formats; the economic and legal environment of French television and European co-production; specific modules on editing, executive production, artistic production, directing and work with actors; and writing exercises running from adapting an episode of an existing series through to creating an original series (writing a bible and a pilot episode).
