PARIS -- Prolific author Marc Levy is heading back to his native France for the launch of Tele Images' new series "Will You Be There?"
The four-episdode, 52-minute series, produced by Mai-Juin Production for Gallic network M6, already sold to Antena 3 in Spain, TSR in Switzerland and RTL TVI in Belgium after the first day of the MIPCOM market Monday.
Also available in a two-episode, 90-minute format for international sales, the series, written by Franck Philippon and directed by Miguel Courtois, follows its cast -- Cristiana Reali, Elsa Lunghini and Philippe Bas -- from Paris to the tropical jungles of Santo Domingo over the course of 20 years.

"To me, a director becomes an author the moment he chooses to tell your story among the millions of others around.
