Max has revealed the trailer for its first French four-part limited series, The Confidante, which will debut on the streaming service on Friday, October 11. New episodes will debut weekly.
Inspired by true events, this psychological thriller follows Christelle “Chris” Blandin, a rock music-obsessed Parisian who, after witnessing the harrowing November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks, quickly latches onto a community of survivors.
Claiming that her best friend Vincent was one of dozens critically injured at the Bataclan Theatre, Chris becomes an indispensable resource for the group, working her way into a prominent role in a survivors’ association.
Though her commitment seems relentless, discrepancies begin to pepper her story – raising serious doubts among the true victims of the tragedy. A thought-provoking series, The Confidante questions the very nature of truth… and the web of lies left in one woman’s wake.
The cast of this psychological thriller includes Laure Calamy (Dix pour cent, Antoinette dans les Cévennes) Arieh Worthalter (Le procès Goldman), Annabelle Lengronne (Un Petit Frère), Alexis Manenti (Les Misérables), Ava Baya, and Anne Benoît.
The Max series was directed by Just Philippot (La Nuée, Acide), written by Fanny Burdino, Jean-Baptiste Delafon, Samuel Doux, and Alexandre Kauffmann, and adapted from Alexandre Kauffmann’s book La Mythomane du Bataclan (Éditions Goutte d’Or).
The Confidante was produced by Studiofact Stories (Roxane Rouas-Rafowicz, Jacques Aragones, Ivan Sadik, and Basile Lemaire) with June Films (Julie Billy and Naomi Denamur).
