Vitrina monitors projects worldwide across all stages of the content lifecycle—development, production, post-production, and release—on a daily basis.
We track various transactions and deal activities related to content financing, commissioning, co-productions, green-lighting, as well as early stage (content development) and late stage (licensing). These transactions between production houses, distributors, streamers, and broadcasters enable us to gain valuable insights into industry trends, key players, buyer behavior, and the specializations of production companies. Our data serves as a bellwether of production financing and industry health when every month, we release highlights on global production transaction volumes for the prior period.
Below are the key highlights for October Film+TV Production Volumes:

November Season Renewals: A Positive Shift for the Industry
Season renewals have long been a cornerstone for streamers and broadcasters, ensuring consistent viewer engagement and operational stability across production and post-production. They provide a strategic advantage by maintaining steady workflows and reducing the uncertainty associated with new content.

November, however, saw a strong rebound, with season renewals rising by 17%. This recovery was driven by notable growth in APAC and EMEA regions, indicating the industry’s resilience and the success of strategic shifts. The uptick in renewals reflects a renewed confidence in ongoing series, underscoring the importance of maintaining a balanced approach between renewals and new content to support long-term growth.
The accompanying graph presents a comprehensive overview of recent trends in season renewals, revealing notable changes in industry strategies aimed at both preserving and expanding series offerings. It underscores the influence of various languages, regions, and genres on these evolving trends.
