Broadcast in France on FR3 in the 1980s, the anime series is based on an eponymous manga by Tsukasa Hōjō, the creator of "Nicky Larson".
It follows three sisters (Sylia, Tam and Alexia), waitresses in a café by day and burglars by night, in search of paintings that belonged to their missing father without a trace.
"We have very intensive discussions with several platforms that are interested in working with us around this franchise," said Rodolphe Belmer from Lille.
According to Le Parisien, which had revealed the project in early March, the flesh-and-blood adaptation of the program "is supervised by director Alexandre Laurent, already at the helm for the front page of +Combattantes+ and +Bazar de la Charité+".
A "third opus in the line" of these two series, carried among others by Audrey Fleurot, is also planned and "will take place this time in the period of the Popular Front" according to Rodolphe Belmer. "We have discussions with Netflix around this project", the American platform having already co-financed the first two opus.

"We are very happy with these collaborations that we will seek to amplify," insisted Rodolphe Belmer, anxious to have programs both "better financed" and "abundant".
The boss of the front page also evoked about twenty projects in development, including the series "Master crime" where Muriel Robin will play a professor in criminology, "The negotiator" with François-Xavier Demaison, "The daron", judicial comedy with Didier Bourdon as a lawyer, or "Benoît embarrassing official" with Artus in the role of a real estate agent.
