Broadcast in France on FR3 in the 1980s, the animated series is taken from an eponymous manga by Tsukasa Hōjō, the creator of “Nicky Larson”.
It follows three sisters (Sylia, Tam and Alexia), waitresses in a café by day and burglars by night, in search of paintings that belonged to their father who disappeared without a trace.
“We have very lively discussions with several platforms that are interested in working with us around this franchise”, assured Rodolphe Belmer from Lille.
According to Le Parisien, who revealed the project in early March, the flesh-and-blood adaptation of the program “is supervised by director Alexandre Laurent, already at the helm for the front page of + Combattantes + and + Bazaar de la Charité +”.
A “third opus in the line” of these two series, worn among others by Audrey Fleurot, is also planned and “this time will take place in the period of the Popular Front” according to Rodolphe Belmer. “We are having discussions with Netflix around this project”, the American platform having already co-financed the first two opuses.
“We are very happy with these collaborations which we will seek to amplify”, insisted Rodolphe Belmer, anxious to have programs that are both “better funded” and “abundant”.
The boss of the front page also mentioned about twenty projects in development, including the series “Master crime” where Muriel Robin will camp a professor of criminology, “The negotiator” with François-Xavier Demaison, “Le daron”, judicial comedy with Didier Bourdon as a lawyer, or even “Benoît embarrassing official” with Artus in the role of a real estate agent.
