Netflix is teaming up with French broadcaster TF1 and Newen Studios to launch its first-ever daily drama series in France, titled Tout Pour La Lumière. Set in the vibrant world of music and dance, the family saga is slated to begin filming next year.
The series will be available to stream on Netflix five days before its free-to-air debut on TF1 and VoD platform TF1+. This marks a unique collaboration in production and distribution, signaling a shift in how daily dramas reach their audiences.
“This unique collaboration in production and distribution illustrates our shared commitment to innovate for the enjoyment of viewers and to support artistic creation,” said Pauline Dauvin, Vice President Content at Netflix France.
Penned by Coline Assous, Yentl Coubes, and Maxime Cormier, Tout Pour La Lumière will be produced by Céline François, with Stéphanie Brémond, Newen Studios’ Deputy General Director of continuing drama and long-form series, overseeing the project. Filming will take place in the scenic La Ciotat, with additional studio production at La Belle de Mai in Marseille.
Pierre Branco, CEO of Newen Studios, expressed excitement about the project, saying, “The launch of such an ambitious new daily series is an exciting project for Newen. We are delighted to bring our expertise in continuing drama to this unique partnership with TF1 and Netflix, aiming to reach and retain a new audience.”
This follows Disney+’s Return to Las Sabinas, widely considered the first daily drama commissioned directly for streaming. Meanwhile, other series like Neighbours have transitioned from free TV to platforms like Amazon Freevee and Prime Video.
