Principal photography of Spotless will begin on July 2 in London for five months. This new drama series created by the Canal+ Original Programming label, is produced by Tandem Communication, a Studiocanal subsidiary in association with Rosetta Media.
Marc-André Grondin (C.R.A.Z.Y), Denis Ménochet (Inglorious Basterds), Miranda Raison (24 : Live Another Day), Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey) and Tanya Fear (Kick-Ass 2) appear in the casting of this dark but funny series.
Jonas Bauer, Executive VP of Tandem Partner and executive producer in charge of the production said “We’re very excited to be producing our first series for the prestigious Canal+ Original Programming label and to have the platform to expand our narrative into the Premium Television arena”.
Fabrice de la Patellière, Director of French Drama and Co-Productions for Canal+ said to be “delighted to begin production of Spotless, featuring talented lead actors Marc-André Grondin and Denis Ménochet, who are great matches for the show’s originality and dark humor. We love Pascal Chaumeil’s work and are excited that he will be directing the first two episodes, starting the series off in a quirky, off-beat style. The channel is taking a thrilling gamble by introducing a new genre to its original programming.”
A sexy, one-hour crime drama peppered with black humor and set in London, Spotless is the story of a troubled man, ‘Jean,’ whose tidy life is turned upside down when his outlaw brother, ‘Martin,’ crash lands into his world, entangling them in the deadly dynamics of organized crime. Played out against a backdrop of ‘Jean’s’ niche Crime Scene Cleaning business, with gangsters, corruption, drugs and death a constant hazard, ‘Jean,’ ‘Martin’ and their dysfunctional family struggle to gain control over life, business and their shared destiny. Spotless is irreverent, dark, funny, sexy and dangerous.
