THIS IS NOT A MURDER MYSTERY

Set in the 1930s, the series follows a young René Magritte (Pierre Gervais) as he arrives at an opulent English estate for a private art exhibition hosted by the flamboyant Lord James. What begins as an extravagant gathering quickly turns dark when Magritte wakes up beside the body of performance artist Sheila Legge (Lauren Versnick). As more bodies fall, Scotland Yard’s DCI Thistlethwaite (Stephen Tompkinson) and DC Quant (Donna Banya) are called in to investigate.

Alongside Magritte, the guest list includes Salvador Dalí (Iñaki Mur), Lee Miller (Florence Hall), Man Ray (Frank Bourke), Max Ernst (Mike Hoffmann), and Gala Dalí (Regina Bikkinina), each bringing their own artistic chaos to the intrigue. The series embraces surrealism not just in its characters but in its striking visuals, playful narrative, and heightened performances.

TV comedy

FOOL! (ZOT!)

Directed by David Vennix
Produced by Lompvis / Caviar

More

FOOL! (ZOT!)

The story follows the eternally optimistic Diederik (Jens Dendoncker) and his sharp-witted half-sister, Marie (Ayana Doucouré). After a mysterious incident forces them to flee their travelling troupe, they seek refuge in the castle of Countess Isabella of Haspengouw (Charlotte Timmers), a young ruler determined to modernise her domain in a world that stubbornly clings to outdated traditions.

Diederik is appointed as court jester, while Marie becomes a lady’s maid — though her true ambition lies elsewhere: she dreams of joining the city guard, a role clearly not meant for women in this society.

FOOL! is a Flemish-language comedy series set in a fictional medieval county. Themes such as abuse of power, gender roles, forbidden love, bureaucracy and toxic leadership are filtered through sharp dialogue, absurd situations and character-driven comedy. Although the setting is medieval, the struggles feel strikingly familiar. Same shit, different century!

PARIS HAS FALLEN

PARIS HAS FALLEN

PARIS HAS FALLEN, a Canal+ Creation originale, rolls off muscular IP, channelling the high-octane action thriller propulsion of the “Has Fallen” film series, whose star Gerard Butler serves as executive producer. The three movies to date – Antoine Fuqua’s “Olympus Has Fallen” (2013), Babak Najafi’s “London Has Fallen” (2016) and Ric Roman Waugh’s “Angel Has Fallen” (2019) – have grossed a combined $522 million in box office, a standout result for an independent film. PARIS HAS FALLEN weighs in as a high-profile case of the continuing diaspora from film to TV.

Tewfik Jallab (“Spiral,” “Dark Hearts”) plays Vincent Taleb, a member of a security deal guarding a high-ranking politician, like Butler’s Banning in the film series. Here, the target is France’s Minister of Defence, attacked by a terror force at a high-profile event.

PATIENCE

Patience follows Patience Evans (Ella Maisy Purvis), a quietly brilliant police archive clerk in York whose extraordinary eye for detail lets her see patterns others miss.

The series now returns for a second season, continuing Patience’s journey as she balances professional challenges and personal growth while helping crack new mysteries.

INTO THE NIGHT

INTO THE NIGHT is Netflix's first Belgian original series.

The first season follows a group of people whose plane is hijacked while they are on board a red-eye flight from Brussels. Terenzio, the hijacker, is an Italian NATO soldier who forces his way onto the aircraft and demands an early take-off. The handful of people in the aircraft then become some of the survivors of a deadly global event caused by exposure to sunlight. The plane heads west in an attempt to survive this catastrophe that kills all living organisms during daylight hours. The group must work together to keep the sun behind them.

In the second season, the remaining survivors secure their path to a NATO bunker in Bulgaria, where they seek refuge from the deadly rays of the sun. Continuing their quest of survival with the military members in the bunker, they attempt to manage a burgeoning conflict and find a solution to the diminished supply of resources.

13 COMMANDMENTS
(13 GEBODEN)

13 Commandments is a Belgian crime thriller in which a serial killer dispenses his own form of justice, basing each murder on a distorted interpretation of the Ten Commandments — and later, new ones he invents himself.

As the investigation deepens, a driven police team is drawn into a morally charged manhunt that challenges clear-cut ideas of guilt, responsibility, and justice. Tense, atmospheric, and psychologically sharp, 13 Commandments combines a high-stakes criminal investigation with unsettling questions about morality in modern society.
