Spy Thriller The Bureau Set for Season Three

PARIS: CANAL+ has commissioned a third season of The Bureau, which Federation Entertainment and TOP—The Oligarchs Productions will begin filming in September.

The spy thriller is a CANAL+ Création Originale from creator Eric Rochant. Seasons one and two were recently licensed to Amazon Prime Video in the U.K. The Bureau has also been sold to broadcasters in Belgium, Sweden, Portugal, Germany and New Zealand, among other markets.

“The Bureau, which has just finished its run of season two on CANAL+, has been a phenomenal success and has truly captivated viewers,” commented Pascal Breton, founder and CEO of Federation Entertainment. “The series has all the unique ingredients for a global hit, and we are delighted to announce season three, which pays testament to the fact that the show is just going from strength to strength.”

“We are very grateful to be so highly acknowledged by our peers, the press and critics as well as the tremendous ratings for The Bureau’s second season,” added Alex Berger, executive producer and managing partner at TOP—The Oligarchs Productions. “As we gear up production for season three, I can’t think of a better team of writers, directors, actors, crew, distribution and broadcast partners to bring our characters and stories to an even wider audience.”

“I tried to do a show that I would love to see, just like the ones that moved me such as The Sopranos or The Wire,” said Rochant, series creator and executive producer at TOP—The Oligarchs Productions. “These are shows where creativity, imagination and thinking expand their power. I’m very proud to hear people asking for another season. It’s like being adopted by the audience and it’s really encouraging.”
