Emiliano De Pablos France TV Distribution, the commercial arm of the French public broadcaster France Télévisions, one of the most powerful TV companies in Europe, is kicking off international distribution on thriller series “La Vallée en Danger” (“Danger in the Valley”), co-written by bestselling French author Michel Bussi.

Produced by Paris-based Cinétévé in co-production with France TV and Belgium’s Be-Films, “Danger in the Valley” will be launched at the upcoming edition of MIP London, which runs Feb.

23-27. A prolific but successful writer, Bussi wrote his first original script for a TV series in 2023, “Prison Island,” in which he collaborated with future “Danger in the Valley” co-scribe, Christian Clères. “Prison Island” unspooled on a peaceful island that turns into a prison when a group of armed activists take hostage the whole population of the quaint, isolated place off the coast of Brittany hostage.

In “Danger in the Valley”, Bussi is re-teaming with Cléres for the six one-hour miniseries. In co-production terms, “Prison Island” was the fruit of a Cinétévé-France 2 partnership, which they are replicating now with “Danger in the Valley,” where Belgium’s Be-Films teams as another co-producer.
