In France, we particularly like manga and anime. In this regard, we have just learned of the existence of a Made in France live series of the famous Cat’s Eyes series, the cast of which is about to be announced.
cat eye is a Japanese manga series created by Tsukasa Hojo. It appeared from 1981 to 1990 and was of course also adapted into an animated series and an animated film. The history of cat eye revolves around three sisters, Sylia, Tam and Alexia Chamade, who run a café by day and turn into thieves by night. They are known as “Cat’s Eye” due to their habit of leaving a calling card at the scene of their burglaries. Her goal is to find artworks stolen from her father, who has mysteriously disappeared. The whole thing is obviously also heavily inspired by Arsène Lupin, hence the work’s impact on France (in addition to its intrinsic qualities).
A French adaptation for Cat’s Eyes is in preparation
If we already knew that a live series “Cat’s Eyes” with Alexandre Laurent at the helm is in preparation, it is already behind the very good French series The fighters Thanks to a tweet from TF1, we can now discover the cast and actresses who will be playing Sylvia, Tam and Alexia. The actresses are Constance Labbé, Camille Lou and Claire Romain.
Ara Aprikian, Deputy General Manager of Content for TF1 Group explains:
These are three talents that we are betting on a lot and will form a pretty explosive trio. We wanted them to be played by young actresses, just like in the basic work.
As for availability, those who don’t have a TV needn’t worry as the project is expected to appear on Amazon Prime Video.
Cat’s Eyes 2.0 will also be created in collaboration with a streaming platform, Amazon Prime Video, along the lines of what we did with Netflix for The Bazaar of Charity (…), that is, it will initially be a TV Broadcast will then give TF1 a second broadcast on Prime Video
Compete with Netflix
As you can imagine, this series is part of the channel’s approach, which is to produce more fiction for the next season and offer more content for the streaming platform. The goal is obvious: to try to compete with the platforms and attract younger generations. For this, there is nothing better than an adaptation of a beautiful anime. As for the cast, we know Camille Lou mostly as a singer, but also as a performer The fighters. Claire Romain introduced herself to him It all starts here while Constance Labbé is known for starring in many French series and films including Happy retirees or Balthazar.
