After the huge success of Les Combattantes, TF1, Netlifx has a new trophy with Vortex, France 2’s latest big hit. Broadcast earlier in the year on the public channel, Tomer Sisley’s drama attracted 4.3 million viewers. for its launch night. Created by Camille Kouas and Sara Farkas on AlloCiné, the series has received an average rating of 4.1 for 759 ratings, including 124 reviews.
Very good results for a science fiction series, a genre rarely approached by French fiction. Here is a brief description of the series:
2025. Captain of the judicial police in Brest, Ludovic lost the love of his life, Melanie, 27 years ago. The mother of his daughter, Juliet, died in an accident… but suddenly, thanks to a time rift that opens up in a reconstructed crime scene in virtual reality, they can communicate between 1998 and 2025! Ludovic warns Melanie: she will die in 11 days! But saving him from certain death means Ludovic risks losing his life in the present he’s taken so long to rebuild: his new wife Parvana and their son Sam…
This type of broadcast agreement between Netflix and the French Hertz channels is becoming more and more common and allows the platform community – mainly a young community that is no longer familiar with the TV medium – to discover the productions made in TF1. or France. 2.
The arrival of the Les Combattantes mini-series on Netflix last October was a huge success. Directed by Audrey Fleuro, Julie de Bona and Camille Lou, the historical drama quickly made it into the top 10 non-English language TV series. So there’s no doubt that Tomer Sisley does just as well with his sci-fi thriller.
Vortex will air on Netflix starting June 2. A program that pleases Catherine Bernard, deputy managing director of France tv distribution, as she told Media+ :”Science fiction requires rare writing and directing qualities. Vortex combines all these qualities and it is a source of pride for France Télévisions to offer this ambitious series another life on Netflix.“.
A veritable spatio-temporal whirlwind and emotionally charged drama, Vortex consists of six 52-minute episodes, also starring Camille Clarice and Zine Trick (Legends Office).
