Some actors spend their careers avoiding typecasting. Audrey Fleurot, best known for lighter, comedic roles, is about to do the exact opposite — stepping into the shoes of a morally compromised cop for Netflix’s French remake of a hard-hitting Korean thriller.

Audrey: A Cop Who Becomes Her Own Suspect
The premise alone makes this one of Netflix’s more provocative French projects yet. Claire Zeller, a respected police chief on the verge of a promotion, shoots and kills a man who violently assaulted her, then flees the scene. The next morning, she finds his body hanging from a construction crane outside her office — and is assigned to investigate the very murder she committed. What follows is described as an unraveling spiral that threatens to cost her everything.
It’s a sharp pivot for Fleurot, who’s spent much of her recent career in comedic territory, most notably as the sharp-tongued consultant Morgane in HPI. This role marks a deliberate return to darker dramatic ground, echoing her earlier work in Spiral.
The Supporting Cast Brings Real Depth
Camélia Jordana, a celebrated French singer-turned-actress known for Le Brio and Irrésistible, joins in an as-yet-undisclosed role widely believed to be Claire’s pregnant partner. Mathieu Demy and Jérémy Gillet round out a cast built for a slow-burn psychological thriller rather than a flashy action piece.
Behind the Camera
Director Samuel Bodin brings genre credibility to the project, having helmed Netflix France’s horror series Marianne and worked extensively on the Lost Bullet franchise. He also co-wrote the French adaptation, staying close to the tension-driven DNA of Korean thrillers — a genre that has increasingly influenced Western crime cinema, part of the broader global rise of South Korean cinema over the past decade.
When Can You Watch It?
No official release date has been confirmed, but given the current production timeline and Netflix’s packed 2027 slate, a global release in early 2028 looks like the most realistic window.
