The deal for the show based on Riad Sattouf's books, derives from a healthy partnership between the two companies, which saw the debut of the Emmy-awarded animated show, "The Adventures of Paddington."
Both companies have been working together for several years, reinforcing Studiocanal Group's ambition to produce high-quality series content in Germany.
The studio today announced multiple film and television projects live in Cannes, as part of a 30th anniversary year special presentation hosted by Chairman Maxime Saada and CEO Anna Marsh.
Based on the best-seller written by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi, the six-part limited series will be created by Nikolaj Arcel and Anders Thomas Jensen.
