The company will adapt 13-part crime drama Epitafios for the French- and English-speaking markets with French director Olivier Megaton.

The original miniseries is produced by HBO Latin America in Argentina. Its plot follows a series of logic-defying homicides that unite a pair of detectives as they embark on a quest to stop a killer.

Deeply Superficial CEO Lachkar said : “It’s an honour to team up with HBO and Olivier Megaton and work on such a series as Epitafios for American, English and French audiences. We loved the many-sidedness of the topics and I look forward to giving a new life to this amazing series to bring it into today’s world.”
