“Vendetta,” the awaited Corsican blood feud drama-thriller from Marco Cherqui, who produced Jacques Audiard’s breakout movie “A Prophet,” will be brought onto the sales market at Series Mania by France TV Distribution.
At the production company CPB Films, Rebecca Zlotowski’s 2019 film “Savages” and the upcoming series version of “A Prophet,” produced by Cherqui as head of TV drama and cinema at CPB, is the project named “Vendetta.” This co-production between CPB Films and France TV will be broadcast on France 2.
News of its international distribution launch comes just after “Vendetta” went into production in the first week of March, shooting in Corsica.
Billed as a mafia thriller and family tragedy, the six-part series turns on Anto, a Parisian cop of Corsican origin, who returns to his homeland with wife Vanina, to take over the family vineyard.
Ambushed, his father is murdered and Anto, wounded, falls into deep coma.
As a child, Anto had sworn to his brother – killed soon after in a vendetta – to break the cycle of vengeance plaguing his family for generations. Awaking 10 years later, he discovers that his now teen son Santu is obsessed with revenge. “How far will Anto go to protect his son and reclaim his life?” the synopsis asks.
“Vendetta” toplines Thierry Neuvic (“Code Unknown,” “Hereafter”) Vahina Giocante (“Bellamy”), Tchéky Karyo (“The Missing”), Stanley Weber (“Borgia”), Laetitia Eïdo (“Fauda”) and Philippe Corti (“Mafiosa”).
Cherqui’s credits also take in, before joining CPB Films in 2017, comedy series “Kabul Kitchen,” a Monte Carlo TV Festival top prize winner, and, at CPB, popular crime comedy movie series “Everyone Lies.”
Vendetta” was jointly written and helmed by Ange Baserga (“Dealer”), with contributions from Emmanuelle Michaux (“Master Crimes”) and Pierre-Marie Mosconi (“Surf Therapy”).
The crime drama joins an International distribtion slate at France TV Distribution, the commercial arm of France Télévisions, which also includes renewed comedy series “Apsergirl” and thriller “Danger in the Valley,” co-written by bestselling Michel Bussi (“Prison Island”).
