"Apple has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order to an English adaptation of the popular French short-form series Calls, which will be co-produced by Canal+. It marks Apple’s first greenlighted international series and its first international co-production.
Created by Timothée Hochet, Calls takes storytelling innovation to the next level, allowing audiences to experience short stories through real-life audio sources and minimal visuals.
As part of the deal, Apple also has acquired the rights to the existing season of the original French series, which aired last year."
Official Synopsis:
Sound Recordings from the black box of an airplane, cassettes of a tape recorder, messages left on an answering machine or calls to police rescue, can testify to tragic events that occurred at different times, but all connected in one way or another to an impending Apocalypse.
