Announced at Content London, the new French series Privilèges, produced by Hugo Gélin (Zazi Séries), began shooting in Paris on January 8. Directed by Marie Monge and Vladimir de Fontenay, the series promises to be an intense dive behind the scenes of a major Parisian palace, where power, manipulation and ambition intermingle.
Shooting will continue until April, alternating between natural settings in the iconic streets of Paris and studio scenes, recreating the hushed atmosphere of this luxury hotel.
Privilèges will be broadcast on Max shortly .
Synopsis: Adèle, a young inmate, finds a chance for rehabilitation behind the scenes of a grand Parisian palace, with the support of its all-powerful director Édouard Galzain. But when she discovers that her freedom comes at a price, a dangerous struggle for survival begins, involving manipulation, power games and betrayal.
In the lead role, Manon Bresch(Mortel, Plus belle la vie) plays Adèle, a young woman confronted with a world where power dictates the rules. Alongside her, Melvil Poupaud(Grâce à Dieu, Les Choses qu'on dit, les choses qu'on fait) plays Édouard Galzain, the hotel's charismatic and formidable manager.
The cast also includes Nina Zem, Anne Azoulay, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Sandor Funtek, Joseph Olivennes and Stéphanie Atala, adding a diversity of characters to this world of luxury and intrigue.
Marie Monge(Joueurs) and Vladimir de Fontenay(Vampires) once again collaborate on this psychological thriller, in which each character seems to be playing a double game.
Privilèges could appeal to fans of sophisticated psychological thrillers, in the tradition of series such as The White Lotus or Succession, where power struggles and manipulation are at the heart of the narrative. Far from being a simple social drama, the series promises to be a behind-the-scenes exploration of the Parisian elite, where every favor has a price and appearances are deceptive.
With its breathtaking plot, solid cast and luxurious yet oppressive atmosphere, Privilèges stands out as an ambitious new production in the French series landscape. Its psychological thriller approach, rooted in the world of luxury and power games, could appeal to a wide audience in search of intriguing, sophisticated stories.
