Forget Gerard Butler: A series inspired by the Fallen trilogy arrives in September… and it’s French!

The Fallen saga (or “fallen” in the original version) returns: this time without its traditional Gerard Butler and in a completely new city: our dear capital!

Announced for May 2023, Paris Has Fallen will finally release its first poster. Described by a representative of production company Studiocanal as a “mini-movie” with “epic action sequences”, the 8-episode show, written by Howard Overman (Wrong) and directed by Oded Raskin (False Flag), will feature the brand on stage. A new agent with the heavy responsibility of saving Paris.

Sincerely remind you Gerard Butler Plays Mike Bunning, a bodyguard to the President of the United States who constantly saves his country, its President, and London all at the same time, in three films that grossed more than $522 million at the worldwide box office: White House Fall. Antoine Fuqua (2013), The Fall of London by Babak Najaf (2016) and The Fall of the President by Rick Roman Waugh (2019).

In this new series, it is the turn of French actor Tewfik Jalabi. He will play a young bodyguard whose mission is to save the French Minister of Defense when terrorists take advantage of a major event to launch an attack. He will be assisted by a British secret service agent (Ritu Arya) of MI6 to ensure the politician’s protection as much as possible. But the duo, at the center of a much bigger conspiracy than expected, quickly suspect one of their colleagues of passing on information about an enemy who is always one step ahead…

face to face Tewfik Jalab (Ooussekine, Black Hearts, Gears) and It is Ritu (Umbrella Academy), we can also find Emmanuel Berko (Mon Roi) in the role of the President of the Republic.

Paris Has Fallen will debut on Canal+ in September 2024. In the meantime, La Chute Saga can still be seen on VOD.
