ALTER EGO
Series created by Anne Viau, Thomas Saignes, Nicolas Robert, with the collaboration of Karine Elghozi / Crime drama / TF1 (2026)
Joseph Batista, a taciturn and humane cop, returns to Marseille after a brilliant thirty-year career in Paris. He has good reason to come back: he's just learned he has a daughter (Lyna) and a grandson he's never met. Lyna, now an investigating judge, is determined to make him pay for his absence. Meanwhile, Samy Kaddourian, a brilliant but disorganized lawyer with an enormous mental load (he's raising his three children alone), defends the suspects Batista wants to put behind bars. This hypersensitive, clingy man and this cop too proud to show his emotions will constantly cross paths on criminal cases, each on their own side, but both fighting for justice. They will discover each other, argue, and little by little, adore each other... until they realize they may have found their soulmate.
