The projects include a mix of film and TV productions. The first is a new original series titled Les enfants sont roism (The Children Are Kings), adapted from Delphine Le Vigan’s novel of the same name. The series is currently in pre-production and is expected to shoot later this year.
Two original French films are also set to debut on the streamer this year. The first, Une Zone à Défendre, is billed as a “moving and intense melodrama” and stars Lyna Khoudri (The French Dispatch) and François Civil (The Stronghold). The pic is currently scheduled for a summer release. The second feature is Antigang: La Relève, an action film starring Alban Lenoir, Jean Reno and Sofia Essaïdi.
Alongside the new titles, Disney+ France also announced the return of the family series Weekend Family, which will hit the platform with a second series April 5. The original cast, including Eric Judor and Daphnée Côté-Hallé, return.
