According BFM Business, a framework agreement has been signed between the chairman of France Télévisions, Rémy Pflimlin, and the Hollywood-based production company Universal, a contract previously held by TF1. The agreement allows France’s public TV channels to have first choice of the studio’s new series.
Thus series currently in production, such as “Shades of Blue”, a detective series starring Jennifer Lopez; a medical drama “Heart Matters”; “Unveiled” or “Warrior” could be broadcast on France2 and France4 if France Télévisions wants. TF1 will keep the series it has already acquired.
