Los Angeles (December 3, 2024) — Parrot Analytics announced the finalists for the 7th annual Global Demand Awards, which recognize the world’s most in-demand and value-driving TV series and movies for the year 2024. Winners in all categories will be announced in January 2025.

Understanding the value drivers of the entertainment industry is more important now than ever, and this year’s awards hopes to shine a light on the series and films that deliver just that.

“This year’s finalists represent a remarkable cross-section of the global entertainment landscape, showcasing an exceptional ability to resonate with diverse audience tastes and trends from around the world,” said Brandon Katz, Senior Entertainment Industry Strategist at Parrot Analytics and Executive Producer of the Global Demand Awards. “These nominees are a testament to the creators, studios, and platforms who truly have their finger on the pulse of global content preferences, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of storytelling in today’s interconnected world.”

The current finalists for each category are determined based on global audience demand data for the period January 1, 2024 – October 31, 2024.

A further note on methodology: TV series are only included if the show was released in the 2024 calendar year, or if any new episodes were released in the 2024 calendar year. For movies, the analysis timeframe that has been applied is Nov 1, 2023 - Oct 31, 2024 to ensure that U.S. holiday season movie releases are captured.
