Notice to fans of detective fiction, M6 has something heavy in store for you this evening with a new series, Alert. Co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment, it will share particularly rhythmic storylines over ten 52-minute episodes. And for good reason, here we will be talking about worrying disappearances near Philadelphia. Worn by Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez, Alert is intended to be quite close to American realities… Normal when we know that it was born following a mishap experienced by its co-creator, the star Jamie Foxx!
