France TV Distribution, the sales division of the French public broadcaster France Télévisions, is introducing 'Sorority,' a historical thriller, at the London TV Screenings. This six-part drama, set in Paris in 1889, centers on three distinct women—a wet-nurse, a midwife, and a bereaved mother—as they strive for agency in a patriarchal world. The series showcases the exceptional talent within France's production industry.

The series features Lula Cotton-Frapier, critically acclaimed for her performance in Dominik Moll’s 'The Night of the 12th,' a major award winner at the 2023 César Awards. Co-written by Alexandra Echkenazi, known for her contributions to 'Simon Coleman' and 'Rosalie,' 'Sorority' is helmed by Savina Dellicour and Vania Leturcq, who previously collaborated on the Belgian crime drama 'Pandore.' Dellicour also directed episodes of Netflix’s hit series 'Who Is Erin Carter?', while Leturcq earned acclaim for 'Next Year.'

'Sorority' follows Rose, who moves from her rural home to Paris to become a wet nurse for a wealthy family. Faced with the prospect of losing her own child, she devises a risky plan to pass her baby off as the infant of Hélène de Gersande, a grieving mother. The narrative highlights how Rose, Odette, and Hélène, despite their varied backgrounds, unite to assert their independence and challenge societal norms. The series boasts a strong ensemble cast, including Barbara Probst, Jonathan Zaccaï, and Olivia Côte, and is a co-production of Lincoln TV, France Télévisions, La Compagnie Cinématographique, and Panache Productions.

This drama beautifully illustrates the power of unity and resilience, particularly for women challenging established conventions. It reminds us that courage and collaboration can forge new paths toward freedom and self-determination, inspiring audiences to reflect on historical struggles and celebrate the enduring human spirit.
