SCENE 01 / DRAMA SERIES
Drama Series Production
Professional scripted drama production for period and contemporary series throughout France.
Drama series production creates scripted episodes with ongoing stories, rich character growth, and high production values. That quality must hold across many episodes or seasons. These shoots need steady creative leads and smart multi-episode scheduling. Each department is built to keep the bar high over long shoots.
We give full production support for drama series and set up crew, gear, and location logistics across your episode schedule. Our team handles the heavy day-to-day load of series work. We keep quality steady and resources well used, from the first day of shooting through series wrap.

On Location
Scripted drama series production across France
Drama series production in France gains from the most generous rebates in Western Europe, the 40% TRIP rebates run through the CNC. It pairs that with a steady pipeline of top series for Canal+, Arte, The country Télévisions, and the major streaming sites. Period work draws on a national inventory most other countries cannot match. The Loire Valley brings châteaux from Chenonceau to Chambord. Central Paris offers Haussmann boulevards and 18th-century hôtels particuliers. Sarlat and Carcassonne add medieval streets, while Lyon and Nancy hold preserved Art Deco interiors. Today's series anchor in the working districts of Marseille, the alpine valleys around Grenoble, and the Atlantic ports of Brittany.
Our line producers manage casting through France's top agencies. They also work with costume houses such as Tirelli Trajes and Maison Cornejo. Prop-sourcing networks add stock that spans every period from the medieval era to the present day. VFX planning runs through houses like Mac Guff, Mikros, and BUF, and we guide co-production forms between the CNC and partner-area funds. Our team holds quality steady from pilot through season wrap, on a schedule the TV networks can rely on.
