The BBC’s Doctor Foster is to be remade for French TV with actress/singer Claire Keim (La Soif de Vivre, Insoupçonnable) taking the lead role of Emma Sandrelli.
Renamed Infidéle(Unfaithful) and directed by Didier Le Pêcheur, the 6-part series will be co-produced by BBC Studios and with Storia Télévision for TF1.
Filming begins this month in Biarritz and in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, with Mike Bartlett’s original scripts adapted by Hélène Duchâteau, Baptiste Filleul and Pierre Linhart.
The deal with TF1 follows on from the news that Russia will also remake the series starring acclaimed actress, Kseniay Rapporport, in the lead role.
