French Crime Series “Curious By Nature” Set to Dazzle International Audiences!
Buckle up, cozy crime aficionados! Florence Pernel is back in action, and she’s not just reporting the news; she’s uncovering the juiciest mysteries in her new series, “Curious By Nature.” This French gem—previously known as “Enquête Parallèle”—follows the tempestuous war journalist Fred, who switches her battlefields from war zones to crime scenes. With her hilariously clumsy cameraman Manu, played by Jean-Baptiste Shelmerdine, Fred digs deep into cases that most would prefer to keep under wraps. It’s like a French twist on “Murder, She Wrote,” but with a contemporary flair and an edge of journalistic intrigue.
Set for its international launch during the MIP London, this drama is packed into three 90-minute episodes, with intriguing storylines rumored to captivate global audiences. Expect a teaser of charm, wit, and a healthy dose of true crime vibes—perfect for our crime-obsessed viewing culture, where shows like “Mare of Easttown” and “The Undoing” have set the bar high for dark, twisty narratives.
France has long been an incubator for cozy crime series, with light-hearted yet gripping titles like “Tom and Lola” and “HPI” finding their way into the homes of thousands. The latter even made a splash across the pond with an adaptation called “High Potential” on ABC. So, it’s about time the world gets to experience the charm of “Curious By Nature,” created by the powerhouse team at Brain Productions.
Joining Pernel in the cast are talents such as Jessyrielle Massengo, Macha Méril, and Frédérique Tirmont, under the direction of Stéphanie Pillonca and Christophe Paturange. This fascinating exploration of crime feels timely as viewers are on the lookout for more light-hearted yet thrilling stories that fuse journalism with crime solving.
So, dust off your detective hat, check your calendar for MIP London, and get ready to binge-watch this delightful series when it drops. Because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a dash of mischief mixed with some cozy intrigue?
