The successful Canal+ series “The Returned”, most recently nominated for an International Emmy Award in the “Best Series” category, will make its debut on the German television scene exclusively on Watchever, Vivendi’s online streaming service.

“One of the greatest, creepiest, most compelling shows” according to The Independent, described as “very addictive” by Le Figaro, the eight episodes of the first season (work has already started on a second season) of The Returned will hit the German market on November 18.

For Stefan Schultz, CEO Germany at Watchever, “The Returned gives our viewers everything Watchever stands for. And as a teaser, we will make the first episode available to everyone – customer or not, free of charge on our website.” Rodolphe Buet, CEO Germany at Studiocanal, in charge for the distribution of the series, stressed to be “very pleased to present the series to a broad audience in Germany, together with our sister company Watchever, in an exclusive 6-month window.”
