French streamer Salto, set up by French broadcasters TF1, M6 Group and France Télévisions to challenge Netflix in the country, has made one of its first international acquisitions, buying dark Quebec comedy 'Happily Married.' Details:

Cineflix Media is handling international sales. Julien Leroux of Cineflix and Salto head of content Thomas Crosson negotiated the deal. Crosson said, with its "perfect mix of freedom of tone and dark humor," represents exactly the kind of programming that "Salto wants to embody."

A joint venture between the commercial networks M6 and TF1 and public broadcaster France Télévisions, Salto launched this year, billing itself as a French alternative to Netflix and other international streaming platforms. Netflix, in particular, has been extremely successful in France and earlier this year unveiled a swanky new office in Paris. The global streamer has some 20 new French shows and movies in the pipeline and, on May 8, bowed, a high-profile musical drama set in Paris from Jack Thorne and Damien Chazelle.
