MHz Choice Acquires Jean-Xavier De Lestrade's 'Sambre' Series

MHz Choice has acquired the U.S. streaming rights for Jean-Xavier De Lestrade's six-episode French thriller series, "Sambre." The limited series, produced by Federation Studios, has already secured distribution deals with the BBC and HBO Max in Europe. This acquisition marks a significant U.S. landing for the project, which is based on a novel by Alice Géraud.

"Sambre" is written and created by Alice Géraud and Marc Herpoux. The series has garnered critical attention and has been described as a record-breaking thriller in its native France. The Oscar-winning filmmaker Jean-Xavier De Lestrade directed the series, contributing his established directorial expertise to the project.

The acquisition by MHz Choice, a streaming service known for its international programming, particularly crime dramas and thrillers, indicates a strong market for high-quality European content in the United States. The series' international sales prior to its U.S. distribution further underscore its global appeal and critical reception. Further details regarding the release date on MHz Choice are expected to be announced.
