Reality and Unscripted

Nouvelle École: the French rap competition returns in 2027 with a brand-new jury replacing SDM, Oli and Theodora. French trade press reports Netflix could release up to five similar formats a year.

Love Is Blind France: Season 2 is confirmed for 2028, with Teddy Riner and Luthna Plocus returning as hosts. It’s a long wait, but at least it’s locked in.

Les Caméras Cachées de François Damiens: this reboots the early-2000s hidden-camera show Les Pièges de François L’Embrouille. Belgian comedian Damiens reportedly shot around 15 new skits, and Netflix promises it before the year ends.

100% Physique: the French edition of the fitness-competition hit Physical: 100, shot last summer. No date yet.

Scripted Series

Lupin Part 4 (October 23): Lupin returns with eight episodes of about 45 minutes. Omar Sy’s Assane Diop is behind bars when a mysterious “Lupin” announcement signals simultaneous museum thefts, and he must break out to clear his name. Théo Christine and Laïka Blanc-Francard join the cast.

Les Brumes: this six-episode thriller adapts Olivier Norek’s novel Dans les brumes de Capelans. Pio Marmaï plays cop Victor Coste, who must get a mute survivor to help catch a killer. It comes from the team behind The Count of Monte Cristo. French press expects a 2027 arrival, though Netflix hasn’t confirmed it.

Life Is a Long Quiet River: a series take on Étienne Chatilliez’s cult satire, again starting with the baby swap. Alban Ivanov, Ludivine Sagnier and Doria Tillier star. It is currently filming in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

School Life: a series based on the title was named in the line-up, but Netflix shared no further details.

Films

Under Paris 2 (2027): the first film became Netflix’s biggest non-English launch, with over 102 million views. Alexandre Aja now directs, replacing Xavier Gens. Bérénice Bejo and Nassim Lyes return, and first footage was shown. Gens once teased a Paris “entirely submerged under water.”

The Hunchback: Soul of Paris (November 27): Vincent Cassel stars in director Jean-François Richet’s darker take. It’s set in 1830 Paris during a cholera outbreak and imagines the man said to have inspired Victor Hugo’s Quasimodo. Karim Leklou, Daphné Patakia and Benjamin Voisin co-star.

Family Pack sequel (Loups-Garous: Renaissance): the 2024 original pulled around 89 million views. This follow-up swaps in Jamel Debbouze, Monica Bellucci, Alban Ivanov and Fred Testot. Four childhood friends at a wedding get thrown into a real-life werwerewolf game in 1515. François Uzan returns, and no date is set.

Ad Vitam Eternam: Guillaume Canet returns as ex-GIGN agent Franck Lazareff, hunted after an assassination attempt. Sophie Marceau and Mathieu Amalric join. Shooting began in August under director Ludovic Colbeau-Justin.
