After the two feature films, Pamela Rose, Canal+ announced on Friday, January 6 the beginning of the filming of Pamela Rose, la série, an "Original Creation" of 9 x 30 'in which the actors Kad Merad and Olivier Baroux embody the characters Bullit and Riper (Satellifacts, May 20, 2021). Filming for the series, produced by Isabelle Degeorges and Joachim de Vasselot for Gaumont and Bruno Delport for Les Molambakais, will begin this Monday, January 9 in Paris and the surrounding region. François Perillat (Gaumont) is in charge of the executive production.
The Pamela Rose film saga, which retraces the wacky adventures of two FBI agents, Richard Bullit and Douglas Riper, came from a series of sketches for Oüi FM, which became a daily 5-minute soap opera on La Grosse Emission on the Comédie ! channel (Canal+ group), written and performed by the duo Olivier Baroux and Kad Merad between 1999 and 2001. The saga includes two films: Mais qui a tué Pamela Rose ? by Eric Lartigau (2003); Mais qui a re-tué Pamela Rose ?, by Kad Merad and Olivier Baroux (2012), as well as, Bullit et Riper (2020), for Canal+.
Olivier Baroux and Kad Merad are co-writing the series alongside Julien Rappeneau and Martin Darondeau, while Ludovic Colbeau-Justin will direct it.
The pitch: to escape a sanction from the FBI Disciplinary Committee, agents Richard Bullit and Douglas Riper return to the field. They must stop a mysterious serial killer who is attacking youtuber stars. An investigation all the more complicated as the two agents struggle to hide the blunder they committed by provoking, in spite of themselves, the accidental death of their first suspect, which arouses the suspicion of Jessica Carson, their young rival at the FBI.
The cast also includes Shirine Boutella, Mélanie Doutey, Ophelia Kolb, Panayotis Pascot, Claudia Tagbo, Mister V, Lionel Abelanski, Stéphan Wojtowicz, and surprise guest stars.
