Netflix's latest French thriller series, 'Gangland' (Original title: Braqueurs) is all set to debut this September. The action-packed trailer may have given away a tad too much of the premise, but the Julien Leclercq-created series promises a strong storyline and some high-octane action. Starring Sami Bouajila and Sam Kalidi in lead roles, the series follows a thief and an ace robber getting their hands dirty as they get involved in a murky turf war between drug dealers.
'Gangland' joins the list of foreign content the streaming network has dropped in September. Some of the previous releases, 'Into the Night' Season 2 and 'The Father Who Moves Mountains' were absolute humdingers and joins the list of some of the best foreign dramas the platform has released.
