Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentParamount Plus, which is the global streaming service of recently rebranded Paramount — formerly ViacomCBS — has forged a three-year partnership with Gaumont, the storied French studio behind Netflix’s “Lupin” and “Narcos,” to jointly produce a slate of high-end original shows for its growing subscribers around the world.Under the partnership Gaumont will produce these series in association with Paramount’s international studio, VIS.
The shows will be part of Paramount Plus’s stated plans to green light 50 new non-U.S. scripted originals in 2022, as it expands its reach from Latin America, Australia, Canada and the Nordics –– where the service has already launched –– to the U.K., South Korea, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy where it will launch this year.
VIS will gain access to Gaumont’s vast network of top talent and creatives in key Paramount Plus markets, including Latin America and Europe, the two companies said in a joint statement.
The first greenlit Paramount Plus/Gaumont project is “The Signal” (“Le Signal”) a horror thriller based on the best-selling novel by Maxime Chattam. “The Signal” is creatively led by hot shot French showrunner François Uzan (“Lupin”).
