Netflix Reunion: Laurent Lafitte and ‘Tapie’ Director Team Up for 2027’s Most Anticipated French Thriller

Their collaboration on the biopic mini-series dedicated to Bernard Tapie earned them the BAFTA for Best Foreign Series in 2024. Two years later, Laurent Lafitte and director Tristan Séguéla are preparing to work together for the third time, now on a film project produced by Netflix.

A Legal Thriller for Their Third Project Together

The pair initially teamed up for the 2013 comedy “16 Years or Almost,” but it is in a more dramatic vein that they plan to join forces again.

According to reports from Le Parisien, shooting will soon begin on “Clean,” a legal thriller described as a race against time for a lawyer caught between a personal crisis and a trial that threatens his career.

Star-Studded Cast

Laurent Lafitte will portray Leonard Landry, a criminal lawyer who suffers an overdose during a courtroom argument. As he struggles with his addiction issues, he takes on a case involving a large company connected to a terrorist group. Fresh out of rehab, he has just one week to get a handle on the case… and to prepare for his own trial!

The film’s cast also includes Carole Bouquet and Mélanie Laurent, along with Anthony Bajon, who plays the main character’s intern. This impressive lineup sets the stage for a thrilling production, expected to start filming soon and to debut next year on Netflix.
