La Une expands its fiction offering, by revealing the start date of the broadcast of "Here everything begins", the spin-off of "Tomorrow belongs to us", and by announcing the French adaptation of Luther, a successful British series led by Idris Elba.
To develop its fiction offer, TF1 is banking on two new products, which are at the same time safe values: a derivative series (a "spin-off", specialists will say) from its successful soap opera
Tomorrow belongs to us
, and the adaptation for France of the British series
Luther
.

Actors Francis Huster, Frédéric Diefenthal and Vanessa Demouy will also be there.

Christopher Bayemi, Idris Elba French?
TF1 has also announced that it is embarking on the adaptation of a successful British series:
Luther
.
This detective series, led by Idris Elba for five seasons between 2010 and 2019, has been a huge success, including a string of Emmy nominations.
It tells the story of Luther, a tortured character, touched by the darkness of the criminals he pursues, and accompanied by Alice, a psychopath who will surprisingly become a kind of acolyte.
The French version being prepared by the front page will also be called
Luther
.
For the main role, TF1 is betting on Christopher Bayemi, one of the actors currently on its antenna, in season 2 of
Unfaithful
.
He will play Theo Luther, the formidable leader of the Paris criminal brigade, who sinks into a depression after having tracked down a child killer for several months.
