Orange Studio and pay TV group have boarded “Fahrenheit,” an international sci-fi series produced by Noor Sadar’s Mediawan-owned White Lion Films.
“Fahrenheit” was created by Guillaume Lemans, whose credits include “Anything For Her” and “Point Blank,” as well as Magali Rossitto and Mathieu Delozier. Orange Studio is a co-producer and will handle international sales with Mediawan Rights.
The eight-part series, which blends action and suspense, is set in the near future and follows small groups of hard-line eco-activists who carry out multiple destructive actions, attacks and targeted murders. These are mostly idealistic young people who believe the world is being threatened by ultra-capitalism. Mateo, a young and impetuous CIA recruit, is sent to Los Diablos, in Latin America, to infiltrate one of these activist groups, the Mandrills, and track down its leader, Adam, a charismatic yet dangerous man.
Lemans will be showrunner of the original series that will shoot in English and Spanish.

When the French telecommunications giant Orange launched its Orange Cinema Series pay TV service a decade ago, it was perceived as an underdog by the French film and TV industry, since the local pay TV market was dominated by Canal Plus.
Some feared Ocs would suffer the same fate as Tps, a pay TV operator dedicated to films and series that was shuttered after its merger with Canal Plus in 2007. But 10 years after its bow, Ocs has managed to survive the Netflix tsunami, collaborate with its former rival Canal Plus, and ultimately thrive with its content and distribution strategy.
Ocs has been able to expand its subscriber base to reach about 3 million thanks to its hyperdistribution strategy and hybrid model mixing linear and subscription VOD consumption, says Serge Laroye, the chairman of Ocs and deputy executive VP of Orange Content.
