“Cannes Confidential” Set to Premiere This June on Acorn TV
The first two episodes of the six-part series, which stars Lucie Lucas (Clem, Porto, and Gloria), Jamie Bamber (Strike Back, Marcella, Battlestar Galactica), and Tamara Marthe (Profilage), will premiere on Acorn TV on Monday, June 26.
Every Monday until July 10th, two brand new episodes will drop. Cannes Confidential, which was filmed in France, had its world premiere last month at the sixth annual CANNESERIES festival.
What is Cannes Confidential About
Cannes Confidential is a high-concept detective series created by Chris Murray (Midsomer Murders, Agatha Raisin) that focuses on the tense dynamic between no-nonsense detective Camille Delmasse (Lucas) and charming international conman Harry King (Bamber). Camille and Harry’s relationship is at the centre of the show, which takes place against the opulent backdrop of Cannes as they work together to solve crimes on the French Riviera. In order to free Camille’s ex-Chief of Police father from corruption charges, Camille and Harry make a deal with Léa Robert (Marthe), a colleague and wing-woman of Camille’s.
The first English-language procedural drama to be produced and set on the Cote d’Azur since the 1970s, Cannes Confidential combines comedy, mystery, and crime within a love story and had unprecedented access to film in the City of Cannes through an exclusive partnership. Beyond the yachts and A-listers, the series will introduce viewers to a side of Cannes rarely seen on television: the city’s fishing boats, local tradesmen, and working-class characters. The characters’ personalities will reflect the collision of these two worlds and their respective realities.
Who is making Cannes Confidential
Cannes Confidential is executive produced by Patrick Nebout (Midnight Sun, Agent Hamilton), Henrik Jansson-Schweizer (Thicker Than Water, Midnight Sun), Catherine Mackin, and Bea Tammer of Acorn Media Enterprises (Acorn TV’s commissioning, co-producing, and development division), International Drama development & Artistic Acquisitions Department of TF1, Lotta Dolk of Viaplay, and produced by Daniel J. Cottin at Isolani Pictures. Camille Delamarre (The Transporters, Assassin Club, Netflix’s Into The Night) directed all six episodes.
