    Key details

Netflix is making waves in early 2026 with two highly anticipated releases catering to French audiences. First, the mini-series 'His & Hers', based on Alice Feeney's novel, was recently released on the platform. This six-episode thriller stars Jon Bernthal as Inspector Jack Harper and Tessa Thompson as Anna, Jack's ex-wife. Set in Dahlonega, Georgia, the gripping narrative revolves around the murder investigation of a woman named Georgia. The story gains complexity through personal rivalries and hidden agendas, notably between Anna and Lexy Jones, Jack's replacement's reporter. While praised for strong performances and suspense, some critics note the plot stretches plausibility due to improbable coincidences. Concurrently, Netflix prepares to launch season 5 of the popular French rap competition 'Nouvelle École'. Following the success of season 4, won by Shayne, the show returns with a revamped jury lineup featuring newcomers Theodora and Oli joining existing member SDM. Notably, SCH, a longstanding judge, departs after four seasons. The show will revert to its traditional three-judge format, leaving behind last season's duel format. Filming began in January 2026, promising fresh energy and a competitive dynamic. Fans are encouraged to catch up on previous seasons, all available on Netflix.
