Made in France.
France 2 diffuse lundi soir les deux derniers épisodes de Broadchurch et
s'attend une nouvelle fois à de très belles audiences. La série policière
britannique a cartonné ces deux dernières semaines, permettant à la Deux de
dépasser les 6 millions de téléspectateurs en prime time et de devancer toutes
les chaînes concurrentes. Un succès qui inspire la chaîne publique, puisque
celle-ci a commandé une version française de Broadchurch en huit épisodes,
selon Le Parisien.
"L'adaptation pour France 2 est en cours
d'écriture", a confirmé la société de production Shine France au
quotidien. "Quatre auteurs y travaillent et nous avons déjà trouvé le
réalisateur principal". Reste à savoir qui figurera au casting...
Une saison 2 au
Royaume-Uni. De l'autre côté de la Manche, où Broadchurch a également
enregistré de très bonnes audiences, une saison 2 a été lancée, mais l'acteur
principal, David Tennant, n'a pas confirmé sa participation. Il est vrai qu'il
s'est déjà engagé à tourner... le remake américain de la série, décidément
devenue un très bon produit d'exportation.

confirmed the production company Shine France to the daily paper. "Four writers
are working on it and we have already found the principal director." It
just remains to reveal the cast...
A second series for
the UK. On the other side of the Channel, where Broadchurch also recorded
very very strong audiences, series 2 has been announced, but the lead actor,
David Tennant, has not confirmed his participation. It is true that he has
already committed to filming ... the American remake of the series, decidedly
becoming a very good export product.
