This crazy political alternate history, available on France TV Slash, imagines a modern France that is still a monarchy. The simple-minded teenager’s ascension to the throne will awaken ambition and treachery within the Court.
What if the monarchy was never abolished? This is the main step Louis 28, an alternate history in which the French Revolution never happened, privileges were not abolished, and the Bourbons quietly occupied their role as kings of France until the present day. The sudden death of King Louis XXVII and the entire royal family in a plane crash will lead to a regime crisis. You must find a male heir of royal blood with a clean criminal record. A difficult task… It is then that we discover the existence of Cedric, the king’s illegitimate grandson, who may claim the crown. Born of a union with a French teacher from Melun, a simpleton and a cretin-type teenager of Moroccan descent, he is placed on the throne of France.
The young Louis XXVIII, who had a weak political sense (for example, he insisted on the abolition of endives), soon had to resort to the severity of the regent, the ambitious Saint-Avit, who had to do everything to make the suburbs stumble again. to the palace. Because the 21st century version of the French court, now established in Champlâtreux, remains a viper’s nest where treachery reigns.
We meet the duo of Maxime Donzel and Géraldine de Marger in the making of this absolutely gorgeous series (a dog on SCO, General about art). Louis 28 promises humor, of course, but also reflects on modern France and its failings, from infotainment to the rise of populism.
The cast includes Nils Autenin Girard (Cedric / Louis 28), Nadia Rose (Queen Mother Samia), Gilles Gaston-Dreyfus (Cardinal de Saint-Avit), Marie-France Alvarez (La Pompa), Brice Micheli (La Vipère), Sarah Stern (Mrs. now), and the participation of Mr. Polpe and Augustine Trapenard. This first season includes 10 episodes of 22 minutes, available starting this Friday, January 27, on France TV Slash.
