Cancel, Disney+'s new French original series, has just gone into production. Previously announced under the working title Solange, this miniseries brings together Virginie Efira and Niels Schneider in the lead roles.
The series is directed by Zoran Boukherma and Ludovic Boukherma, the filmmakers behind Willy 1er, Teddy, L’Année du requin and Leurs enfants après eux. Cancel is co-produced by Maui Entertainment, the company of Eric Rochant and Vanessa Fourgeaud, and Petit Ermitage Production, the outfit of Camille de Castelnau.
Cancel Mini-series | France
Available on Disney+ : date not announced
Psychological thriller
Directed by Zoran Boukherma and Ludovic Boukherma
Starring Virginie Efira and Niels Schneider
Working title: Solange
In Cancel, Virginie Efira portrays Solange Marni, a wildly popular television host known for steering a daily show where guests recount defining experiences. Her public image takes a hit when a young journalist, Gabriel Roche, publishes an exposé about her toxic behavior.
Three years on, the story picks up. Solange has moved on with her life, but she invites Gabriel into her home for the launch of his book. She agrees to grant him an exclusive interview, unleashing a tense face-off where power dynamics, the truth about the past, and the ambiguity of the central character drive the thriller.
The project extends the collaboration between Camille de Castelnau and Virginie Efira, who had already teamed up on the Disney+ original series Tout va bien. With Cancel, Camille de Castelnau continues her exploration of contemporary female characters, this time set behind the scenes of the media world.
With Virginie Efira and Niels Schneider front and center, this new French Disney+ production has a strong hook for viewers to identify with. The series will appeal to fans of psychological thrillers that focus on public image, power dynamics, and the gray areas of a character under the media spotlight. It’s less aimed at those seeking a comedy or a light, breezy story.
No release date has yet been announced for Cancel on Disney+. With filming just getting underway, the platform is expected to share the release schedule, the episode count, and the rest of the cast.
