French broadcaster France Télévisions has increased its international fiction strategy to focus on high-concept series with distinctive storytelling. The series includes Mathieu Missoffe's new thriller series “Passe Muraille” and “Free Pass” from the producers of “The Kissing Booth.” The shift has been prompted by budget pressures across Europe and France, with Téle focusing on projects with bold ideas over scale. The broadcaster is also looking for international alliances with broadcasters, distributors, and streamers to bring projects to life.
