For the moment this”very, very ambitious project” according to the director’s words, it is still in pre-production and filming should start this year.

The series should count 8 episodes of 35 minutes each, written by Mathieu Leblanc and Thomas Mansuy and directed by Benjamin Rocher. Alban Lenoir thus arrives in rather familiar territory, since Benjamin Rocher directed the two films Anti-gang in which the actor plays.
