The Art Directors Guild Award for Outstanding Production Design for a Multi-Camera Series is an award given annually by the Art Directors Guild. It was introduced at the Art Directors Guilds' fifth annual honors, in 2000, after being combined with regular, one-hour series for the four previous ceremonies (including with miniseries and television films for the first).
