Kino Lorber’s MHz Choice has picked up new French cop drama “Tom & Lola” for the U.S. in a pre-sale deal ahead of the series premiere at this year’s Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Le Havre, which kicks off on Monday.
Handled internationally by Mediawan Rights, the 12-episode series, about two close friends and fellow cops who end up living and working together after a marriage breakup, also pre-sold to Discovery in Italy.

Less than a year after launching, Pathé’s division dedicated to series is already firing up a flurry of premium projects that are equally as ambitious as its film output.
The first slate of Pathé’s TV arm boasts 12 series in different stages of development. These include two shows based on Alexandre Dumas’ literary classic “The Three Musketeers,” as well as adaptations of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Joel Dicker’s bestseller “The Last Days of Our Fathers.”
