UK drama The Gathering was the big winner at the Golden Nymph Awards, which were announced at the closing ceremony of the Monte Carlo TV Festival.

The series won the Golden Nymph for Best Series and triumphed in both acting categories; Eva Morgan scooped Best Actress and Warren Brown Best Actor. The World Productions’ drama centers on a violent attack on a teenage girl during an all-night rave. It won over the Festival’s fiction jury, which was headed by Seal Team star David Boreanaz.

Little Did I Know, based on two of Martina Haag’s novels, was named Best Film. The Public Prize went to dystopian drama Helgoland 513, rounding off a successful period for its German producer UFA Fiction, which makes Maxton Hall – The World Between Us, recently named Prime Video’s biggest ever international launch.

The Jury Special Prize was awarded to Israeli series Night Therapy, about a psychologist struggling to raise his two kids after his wife’s suicide.

The Festival has welcomed a host of drama producers and talent this week including several of the cast from the various NCIS series, Elsbeth lead Carrie Preston, Bridgerton star Simone Ashley, and Morgan Freeman and the cast of The Gray House.

There was also a healthy contingent of documentary and news producers in town and awards spanning several factual categories.
