‘The Lost Station Girls’, With ‘Emily in Paris’ Star Camille Razat, Leads New Wave of Disney+ Originals
variety.comBen Croll In a push to bulk up a library of adult-skewing dramas and to expand the brand identity beyond family fare, Disney+ has ordered a raft of scripted originals out of France, Germany and Spain.
Out of Gaul, the streamer has commissioned “The Lost Station Girls,” a true-crime thriller about a two-decades-long inquiry into the murders of four young women in the south-of-France. “Emily in Paris” star Camille Razat will topline the investigation drama produced by Itinéraire, the same outfit behind Disney’s BAFTA nominated “Oussekine,” while Gaëlle Bellan (“Tout Va Bien”) oversees the project.
Production is already underway in the city of Perpignan. In Germany, the period comedy “Vienna Game” will reframe the 1814 Congress of Vienna as a “a seven-month-long party” that takes an irreverent view of European diplomacy while paying deference to women behind the scenes who really got the job done.
Bettina Kuhn of Satel Film is set to produce, as Stefan Brunner (“Tatort,” “Freud”) directs. Meanwhile, Spanish subscribers can look forward to 70-part premium soap “Return to Las Sabinas,” with new installments streamed daily, presumably for a period of 14 weeks.
