- Canal+ will broadcast a four‑part doc series titled “Kim, The Diamond, And The Grandpa Robbers” about Kim Kardashian’s 2016 Paris Fashion Week robbery.
- Pernel Media is producing the series for Canal+, leveraging “rare and exclusive access” to members of the robbery gang and their defense lawyers.
- The series frames the heist as a carefully‑planned operation driven by insider knowledge, challenging the usual chaotic‑crime narrative.
- Samuel Kissous (Pernel founder) and Fabrice Frank serve as executive producers, with Clément Roquigny as creative producer and Agnès Buthion as director.
- An international version of the doc is in production, slated for delivery in early 2027.
Why it matters: Canal+ adds a high‑profile true‑crime series to its lineup, while Pernel Media secures a flagship international production; viewers gain rare, insider‑driven insight that reshapes the public narrative of the robbery. The series promises exclusive access to gang members and defense lawyers, delivering a more immersive, character‑driven account that contrasts with the usual chaotic‑crime framing.
