The BBC has acquired a brand-new eight-part French drama, The Sentinels , which will debut later this year. Produced by StudioCanal. If you haven't heard of the show yet, this is a World War I drama meshed with sci-fi elements, based on Xavier Dorison and Enrique Breccia's graphic novel series, Les Sentinelles.
The series takes place in an alternative version of WWI, featuring Louis Peres as Ferraud, with Thibaut Evrard, Kacey Mottet Klein, Carl Malapa, Olivia Ross, Pauline Etienne, Nastya Golubeva, Noam Morgensztern, and Ouassini Embarek. Credit: StudioCanal A Different Kind Of Soldier Fights In WWI The series is an interesting take on history, as they have essentially taken the 'super soldier' theme you always see in WWII tropes and take it back a couple of decades, as several soldiers in the French army are injected with a special serum that ends up giving them special powers, as they march across the battlefield to push the frontlines and help win the war.
But the series does take a couple of twists, which we will keep spoiler-free, that don't quite fall in line with the typical stories you see of this genre. The BBC will launch it on iPlayer and BBC Four later this year, although no official date has been set.
Here's a look at the official overview for the series: #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode in wp-includes/media.php */ Credit: StudioCanal Credit: StudioCanal The Sentinels: So, What's It All About?

After being injected with a mysterious serum, Gabriel gains extraordinary strength, speed, and resilience. He joins an elite unit known as the Sentinels – augmented soldiers forged for the front lines.
