Hulu Acquires U.S. Rights for StudioCanal’s "Paris Has Fallen"

Hulu has acquired the rights to distribute the French series "Paris Has Fallen," originally produced by Canal+. The show is a spinoff of the popular "Has Fallen" film franchise starring Gerard Butler. In this series, Butler’s character is tasked with safeguarding significant landmarks and nations from the threat of invasion and terrorism.

The decision to create a television drama based on the successful film series was driven by the positive reception of the movies. "Paris Has Fallen" has quickly risen to become one of the top three original series on Canal+.

Tewfik Jallab takes on a leading role in the series, portraying a protection officer for a French Minister. The storyline follows his character as he races against time to uncover and thwart a dangerous conspiracy aimed at destabilizing the iconic city of Paris.

The acquisition of "Paris Has Fallen" by Hulu marks a significant milestone for the series, as it prepares to make its debut in the United States later this year. Viewers can anticipate high-octane action, suspenseful plot twists, and a riveting narrative that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

With its thrilling premise and talented cast, "Paris Has Fallen" is poised to captivate American audiences and expand its fan base beyond its original French viewership. The series’ transition to a new platform like Hulu opens up exciting opportunities for a wider audience to experience the adrenaline-pumping adventures and intense drama that have made it a standout success.
