Walter Presents Picks Up Pair of French Thrillers

Walter Presents has licensed the French thrillers Crimson Wedding and Mother Is Wrong for its services in the U.K., U.S., Italy and Australia.

Produced by Scarlett Productions, Crimson Wedding stars Alexia Barlier, Cristiana Réali and Lannick Gautry. The series, created by Bruno Dega and Jeanne Le Guillou, is centered on a family wedding that suddenly turns into a tragedy with devastating effect.

Mother Is Wrong is a psychological thriller about a 3-year-old boy who is convinced the woman claiming to be his mother is not his real mommy. A child psychologist believes the boy is telling the truth but has trouble persuading the police to investigate.

Both six-part series were licensed from France TV Distribution.

Walter Presents Co-Founder and Curator Walter Iuzzolino said: “The French Whodunnit is well and truly back with a vengeance and I’m delighted to have secured two very different but equally compelling thrillers in this multiterritory deal. Mother Is Wrong is a totally gripping, beautifully shot series and more than a bit creepy in a good way. Crimson Wedding starts off deceptively light and breezy against the backdrop of the stunning town of Cassis but soon takes a shocking turn when the wholesome aspirational family at its heart is revealed to be anything but. Quintessential viewing for anyone who loves a riveting French mystery thriller.”
