"Max Expands European Presence with Trio of French Shows and Basic Ad Plan Ahead of Olympics"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Deadline

Max has revealed three new French shows, including one about the Bataclan attacks, as commissioning head Vera Peltekian emphasizes the desire to avoid creating a French version of popular American series like "Succession" or "White Lotus." The shows, which also include a series about the gypsy community and an adaptation of a memoir by a French rabbi, aim to tell modern stories that resonate with viewers. This announcement comes as HBO Max prepares for launch in multiple European nations and follows similar unveilings from Netflix and Disney.
