BBC Drama Trust Me Heads to ARTE

STUDIOCANAL has licensed the event drama Trust Me, which originally aired on BBC One, to ARTE.

The four-part character-led drama is produced by RED Production Company for BBC One. Written by Dan Sefton (Mr Selfridge, The Five), Trust Me stars Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) as a hardworking nurse forced to take drastic measures when she loses her job. The first season will soon be premiering on ARTE and a second season is currently in preproduction.

Francoise Guyonnet, executive managing director of TV series for STUDIOCANAL, said, “This is another example of our European prestige event series moving to a leading international broadcaster. With creative credentials of the highest pedigree and intriguing characters, Trust Me has a universal narrative which will hold strong appeal for ARTE’s viewers.”

Olivier Wotling, head of drama at ARTE France, commented, “Trust Me is a creative and daring British drama. We are delighted that this high-quality series will be coming soon on ARTE.”
