Gaumont & STUDIOCANAL to Co-Distribute NOX

Gaumont and STUDIOCANAL have aligned to co-distribute the French crime thriller NOX, a Canal+ Creation Originale.

Gaumont will distribute NOX in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Asia, with STUDIOCANAL handling sales for all other territories. Set in the underbelly of Paris, the series co-stars Nathalie Baye (It’s Only the End of the World, Spin, Les Gardiennes), Malik Zidi (Made in France), Maiwenn (The Price of Success) and Frédéric Pierrot. Gaumont is also the producer.

“This nail-biting crime thriller, which takes place in the vast underground tunnels that lie under the city of Paris, attracted an outstanding cast to portray these characters, who become ever more complex as the investigation unfolds,” commented by Vanessa Shapiro, the president of worldwide TV distribution and co-production at Gaumont. “We look forward to collaborating with STUDIOCANAL to distribute NOX to audiences worldwide.”

Francoise Guyonnet, the executive managing director for TV at STUDIOCANAL, added, “We know there is a global demand for drama series with the high production values and intriguing narratives that have become hallmarks of the Creation Originale label. We are very pleased to work alongside Gaumont to deliver this exceptional new series to our clients.”
