TF1 Launches ‘Menace Imminente’ With Questions Over Timing

Producers bill the Dov Alfon adaptation as timeless despite criticism tied to the Gaza crisis.

Overview

  • TF1 begins airing the six-episode drama on Monday, with the series also available to stream on TF1+.
  • Patrick Bruel leads the cast as a veteran of Israel’s Unit 8200 in his first television-series role.
  • The narrative focuses on high-stakes espionage linking France and Israel without revealing key plot turns.
  • The show is adapted from a novel by Dov Alfon, who is Libération’s publishing director and a former Israeli intelligence member, and it is an international co-production.
  • L’Humanité questions the appropriateness of the broadcast schedule given the crisis in Gaza, while Bruel maintains the subject is “timeless” and not tied to current events.
