Gulli to Bring Down the Road to France

Gulli has acquired Down the Road from Primitives and will produce a French adaptation of the series titled Sur la route 21.

The series will feature French singer Matt Pokora, who accompanies six young adults with Down syndrome on an unforgettable journey to Québec.

In Sur la route 21, Pokora travels more than 5,000 kilometers alongside Jeanne, Laurène, Loéline, Cyril, Marin and Théo. While the group shares the experience of living with Down syndrome, each participant brings a unique personality and life story, resulting in an emotional and uplifting journey that explores independence, friendship and self-discovery.

The French adaptation is produced by 909 Productions (Mediawan) and is set to launch on 26 February.

“We are thrilled to see Down the Road continue to resonate with international audiences in such powerful and positive ways,” said Simone de Pruyssenaere, managing director at Primitives. “This French adaptation for Gulli celebrates courage, joy and connection, and we look forward to sharing it with viewers who are hungry for meaningful, uplifting television.”
