Starring Laure Calamy, the series delves into the true story of a woman who deceives her way into a victims' association. Directed by Just Philippot, the show features a talented cast and promises to captivate viewers with its intriguing storyline.

With a strong lineup of original productions, Warner Bros. Discovery is poised to establish Max as a prominent player in the streaming industry. The international rollout of Max is eagerly anticipated, with further details expected to be shared during a keynote address at Series Mania.
