Since last summer, posters marked with the letter N from Netflix have been popping up all over town to warn of the filming of the series Young Millionairessometimes at the Calanques and Marseilleveyre high schools, sometimes for the passage of a Ferrari and a scooter on the Corniche, sometimes at the Or’phée jewelry store in the Vauban district this Wednesday, September 25. This is a mini-series of 8, 35-minute episodes produced by Five Dogs and signed Tania and Igor Gotesman, to whom we already owe Fiasco, Family Business or comedy Five, notably with Pierre Niney.
No point looking for the actor in the streets of Marseille, he is not in the casting this time. Four young unknown actors play the main roles of David, Samia, Léo and Jess. The pitch was presented on September 12 at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival.
“We complain a little about parking, but it brings life to the neighborhood!”
“17-year-old friends from Marseille win 17 million in EuroMillions. They realize a little late that they cannot collect the money because they are minors. They will use tricks and stratagems to get around the problem. Beyond comedy, we sought to broaden the proposition by moving towards soap, more intimate intrigues in the tone of Sex Education“, explained Clémentine Gayet, creative executivein charge of original French series at Netflix in French Film.
