Plot: When Teenage Dreams Meet Reality
The series follows four teen friends in Marseille who win the jackpot and see their peaceful lives spiral into chaos — who knew that being young and rich could be a nightmare? The story centers around Samia, Léo, David, and Jess, lifelong friends who decide to try their luck with a lottery ticket on Friday the 13th.
The four teenagers, all aged 17, walk away with a €17 million jackpot, but face a crucial problem: only their discreet new friend Victoire, who is 18, can legally claim the money. This age restriction becomes the catalyst for a series of comedic and dramatic situations that test their friendship and maturity.
Meet the Cast: Rising French Talent
Young Millionaires features an ensemble cast of emerging French actors, led by Abraham Wapler and Malou Khebizi. The series showcases fresh talent that represents the new generation of French cinema and television.

Behind the Scenes: Creative Team
Igor Gotesman, a frequent Netflix collaborator, returns with Young Millionaires, co-creating this teen dramedy with Carine Prévôt and Mahault. Gotesman’s previous work with Netflix positions him as a trusted voice in French content creation for the streaming platform.
The series was unveiled at the French Fiction Festival in La Rochelle, highlighting its significance in the French entertainment landscape and Netflix’s commitment to international content diversity.
What Makes Young Millionaires Unique
Unlike traditional teen comedies, Young Millionaires explores the darker side of sudden wealth. Netflix describes the series as a story about coming of age under extraordinary circumstances, with the teens’ journey filled with humor and heart, showing how money can complicate even the closest bonds.
The Marseille setting adds authenticity to the story, providing a distinctive French Mediterranean backdrop that distinguishes it from other teen-focused content. The series promises to deliver:
Realistic Character Development: Each character faces unique challenges as they navigate newfound wealth and its consequences.
Cultural Authenticity: The French setting and cultural nuances provide global audiences with an authentic European perspective on teenage life.
Moral Complexity: The show explores themes of friendship, trust, and the corrupting influence of money without being preachy.
Netflix’s French Content Strategy
Young Millionaires represents Netflix’s continued investment in French original content. 2025 has already seen significant French releases, such as “Ad Vitam,” which made its way onto Netflix’s all-time most-watched list, and the French rom-com series “Shafted”.
This strategic focus on French content reflects Netflix’s commitment to serving diverse global audiences while supporting local creative talent and storytelling traditions.
