"Most glorious of news, people! Our favourite movie studio Pathe is launching its TV branch and has already set ambitious first projects. To be headed by Aude Albano who gave us Versailles, their first series will mostly include large scale period drama revolving around iconic French figures, as Variety reports. Jean François Richet is already preparing for them a series on NAPOLEON, the first episode has apparently already been written with the help of Thierry Lentz, who heads the Napoleon Foundation in Paris and has written several books about him. Meanwhile, Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelliere (who are also behind Pathé' $73 USD million two part movie adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel The Three Musketeers) are creating THE BLACK MUSKETEER series inspired by the epic true story of the first Black Musketeer in French history, Louis Aniaba. The show will follow the adventures of this lesser known, yet truly heroic character who will be also be portrayed in the two-part film adaptation with Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris and Eva Green. Next two years Pathe plans to produce several upscale series of high quality. From Hollywood Spy

"Versailles" seemed to focus on a particular aspect of Court life – it will be interesting to see how the Napoleon episodes turn out? |

From what I can see, Versailles was very popular, at least outside the States, and ran for three series, although it was originally meant to run for four series. There also seemed 'talk' about Revolution, which might refer to the French Revolution, who knows? But it would be great to see a Napoleon series, although again, I think we've heard similar rumours before. |

I thoroughly enjoyed Versailles and was rather unhappy when they ceased production. I hope this 'Nappy' comes to fruition, and It'll be something to watch on a dark winter's night in Bedfordshire… |
