Sirius Media signs on to adapt two literary works

Sirius Media has signed two exclusive option agreements with Écrin publishers to adapt "Talk Chaud" and "11 septembre, au pied des tours" for television. These works are expected to reach a large audience thanks to the established reputations of their respective genres. "Talk Chaud," a crime novel co-written with Thierry Ardisson, and "11 septembre," a raw account by Mikaël Benfredj, will be adapted for the screen using an accelerated production model that leverages artificial intelligence.

Sirius Media's model promises shorter timelines and controlled costs, with teasers planned for September 2026. The group's direct distribution strategy will allow it to capture a larger share of the value generated by these projects. The two works will join a catalog boasting over 600 hours of content.
