The International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series is one of the major categories of the International Emmy Awards, the primary awards ceremony of the International television industry. The category is described on the official IATAS website as being open to drama series which are "a dramatic production in which theme, storyline, and main characters are presented under the same title, with the intention to develop beyond a first season."^[1] The award was first given in 2002, for the awards covering programmes screened in 2001.

Rules & Regulations

Drama Series: A dramatic production in which theme, storyline, and main characters are presented under the same title, with the intention to develop beyond a first season.^[2]

• The program should fit the minimum format length of a televised half-hour time slot.
• The production generally intends, or has the potential, to continue the storyline into the next broadcast season.
• Although the storyline may vary, there must be continuity in the production supervision.
• Entrants must submit two (2) complete, unedited (as telecast) episodes that are also non-consecutive (e.g. episodes 1 & 3, not episodes 1 & 2).
• Both submitted episodes must have been broadcast between the eligibility dates listed in Section I – Eligibility, and be representative of the main storyline.
