variety.comJ.J. Abrams’ Max period crime thriller “Duster,” AMC Networks’ “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” Season 2 and Paramount+ with Showtime’s “The Agency” will bow at this year’s Canneseries whose 2025 lineup belies naysayers who argued, without a parallel MipTV and the buyers it brought to Cannes, the French TV festival would fail to draw series or celebs of weight. “Dead City” is a world premiere, “Duster” looks like one too – it’s slated to be made available on Max on May 15.
Starring Michael Fassbender, “The Agency” bowed on Paramount+ on Nov. 29, but not in France where it’s hugely awaited as a U.S.

Josh Holloway, Sam Clafin and Jeffrey Dean Morgan will hail into Cannes to promote “Duster,” European mega-series “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “Dead City” respectively, all playing out of competition.
