Merteuil, a new French original series has just begun filming in Normandy, France. Starring Anamaria Vartolomei (Isabelle de Merteuil), Diane Kruger (Madame de Rosemonde), Vincent Lacoste (Vicomte de Valmont) and Lucas Bravo (Comte de Gercourt) reprise their iconic roles in this cruel and spirited play, directed by Jessica Palud.

Filming will run until December in grandiose and intimate settings, from the cliffs of Normandy to the châteaux of Ile-de-France. Each location has been carefully chosen to reinforce the refined aesthetic and unique atmosphere of 'Merteuil'.

According to Véra Peltekian, Vice President in charge of original French productions, Max 'We are delighted to bring to life "Merteuil", a series that explores power games, manipulation and moral dilemmas through complex and fascinating characters. This ambitious project allows us to revisit the spirit of 'Dangerous Liaisons' through a modern prism, while retaining the intensity and sophistication that made it a timeless masterpiece.'

For the producers Nabi Productions and Felicita Films (Newen Studios Group), "At the heart of the masterpiece that is Les Liaisons Dangereuses lies another masterpiece: its heroine, the Marquise de Merteuil. It took nothing less than the combined talents of Jessica Palud and Jean-Baptiste Delafon to imagine the genesis and destiny of this revolutionary character. Through the 18th century of libertines and the dying nobility, Jean-Baptiste and Jessica offer a modern exploration of the themes of pleasure, freedom and the emancipation of women".

Synopsis

To be the hero of your own story, you sometimes have to be the villain in others'. Marquise de Merteuil, betrayed by Valmont, embarks on a daring journey to become Paris' leading courtesan. Freely adapted from the novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, a thrilling exploration of the price of emotional & sexual freedom -- in a world where women had little.

Directed by Jessica Palud, created and written by Jean-Baptiste Delafon, produced by NABI Productions (UGC group) (Clément Birnbaum, Joachim Nahum), Felicita Films (Newen Studios Group) (Marie Guillaumond).
