Below is an arrangement of stars I've found in a TV series. As an amateur astronomer I cannot identify if this is a constellation, after having looked through what is recognized by the IAU. Is this just a depiction of a random group of stars?

The IAU recognizes 88 constellations. The charts for each constellation can be found at the bottom of this page from the IAU website. You can go through them yourself, but I haven't found any that really resembles your image. So it probably isn't a constellation recognized by the IAU.
But it could still be part of the sky, without being a constellation. So I also ran the image through astrometry.net, but it didn't find what field the image could belong to.
This suggests that it is just a random group of stars, rather than an actual image of the sky.
