Canal+ Confirms Production On Next Instalment Of ‘Has Fallen’ TV Series

deadline.com:

Has Fallen will return for another high-stakes season on TV. Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada today confirmed a second season of the action thriller series, which was spun out of the Has Fallen films, is in production in the UK on a second season.

Season 1, Paris Has Fallen, was set in the French capital with some filming taking place in London. Saada revealed the news in comments prepared for Canal+’s preliminary full-year 2024 results. “Studiocanal‘s first-ever global TV series Paris Has Fallen, based on the successful Has Fallen film franchise, was a smashing success in all Canal+ pay-TV territories, as well as on Amazon Prime in the UK and Hulu in the United States,” he said. “It will naturally be followed by a second season now shooting in the UK.” No further details were given but Season 1 of the Canal+ original, which sold to the likes of Hulu and Prime Video, was made by the French giant+’s production arm, Studiocanal; the latter’s UK subsidiary Urban Myth Films; the two companies behind the film franchise, Millennium Media and Gerard Butler’s G-BASE; and Eclectic Pictures.

The comments came in a statement accompanying the French TV giant’s first annual financial results since listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Canal+ reported revenues of €6.45B ($6.77B) and EBITA of €503M, but its share price has been falling the listing in December.
