It stars Issaka Sawadogo, Yann Gael, Fatou Elise Ba and Christiane Dumont.<\/p>\n<p>Also picked up from Lagard\u00e8re Studios Distribution, the French thriller <em>Philharmonia<\/em> is headed to Walter Presents in the U.K. and Australia. The six-part French series is set in Paris and produced by Merlin Productions and France 2. Created by Marine Gacem, the series stars Marie-Sophie Ferdane, Lina El Arabi and Laurent Bateau.<\/p>\n<p>Walter Presents co-founder and curator Walter Iuzzolino said: \u201cWalter Presents was set up to find hidden drama gems from around the world and we\u2019re proud to be championing our very first African series. <em>Sakho and Mangane<\/em> is a thriller of contrasts with an unlikely but likable cop duo at its heart. A crime procedural set in Senegal is a rare treat and I\u2019m hoping it will be the first of many more African series we can acquire. <em>Philharmonia<\/em> is a deliciously rich thriller set in the seemingly classy world of classical music. However, look beyond the orchestra pit and a dirty world of back-stabbing, jealousy and bloody vendettas is revealed. This is an utterly addictive thriller with a soundtrack to die for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walter Presents has acquired U.K. rights for its first African drama series, Sakho and Mangane, set in Dakar, Senegal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":12198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[717],"class_list":["post-12197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-walter-presents","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
