Canal+ Drops First Trailer for "A Prophet"

"A Prophet" is an eight-episode Canal+ original series adapted from Jacques Audiard's 2009 film, which earned an Academy Award nomination.

In Audiard's original film, Malik El Djebena is a young man of Algerian descent entering the French prison system.

Directed by Enrico Maria Artale and written by Abdel Raouf Dafri and Nicolas Peufaillit, the eight-part drama filmed in Marseille and Puglia entered production in 2023 and premiered at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in 2025.

"We're at war. You have to choose your side."
