Mystery thriller “Moresnet,” which had its world premiere this week at TV festival Canneseries, is set in a sleepy village in Belgium, Moresnet, but underneath the placid surface dark forces lurk.
Variety spoke to writer Jef Hoogmartens and director Frank Van Passel about the show, which is being distributed by Newen Connect.
The series centers on a group of adults who used to be friends when they were children, but were traumatized when one of them, Daan, murdered another for no apparent reason.
Two decades later the friends – minus Daan, who is locked up in the local asylum – gather in the village again after Daan’s brother Ben returns for his father’s funeral. The friends decide to dig up a time capsule they buried on the night of the murder. In that, they find Daan’s diary. On the last page, Ben discovers a list of names… with the death dates of his friends.
