French film and TV company Gaumont has announced it is developing a six-part drama devoted to French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte Macron.
The Paris-based company said the film would consist of six 45-minute episodes and be entitled Brigitte, une femme libre, which translates as “Brigitte, a free woman” but is not confirmed as the international title.
“Written by Bénédicte Charles and Olivier Pouponneau, this series retraces the romantic trajectory of the first lady, Brigitte Macron,” Gaumont said in a succinct press release on Tuesday.
Charles and Pouponneau previously collaborated on the Abu Dhabi-set spy thriller Mirage and serial killer mini-series Spiral of Lies.
Gaumont did not reveal any further information on the storyline, cast or other producing partners.
