There’s also the fourth season of the hit adaptation The Crimson Rivers, which is based upon the world of Jean-Christophe Grangé and is carried by Storia Télévision in France and by Umedia in Belgium.

Last but not least, Wallimage is throwing its weight behind two documentaries: Nanok by Xavier Ziomek and the third instalment of Robert Henno and Jean-Christophe Grignard’s Wallonie Sauvage, not to mention a VR project by the name of Jailbirds.
