The other two finalists were The King, directed by Dániel Richárd Kovács and produced by Unio Film (Hungary) for RTL Hungary, and Moth Hunting directed by Michał Rogalski and produced by Akson Studio (Poland) for TVP.

Out of the 29 projects submitted for the first NEM Media Awards for the best TV series in the CEE region, 12 were shortlisted.

Spy / Master was pronounced the winner, based on the decision of a jury of film professionals from countries outside the CEE region.

All finalists will have PR backing from the NEM and will be invited to further promote their projects at NEM Dubrovnik.
