Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released mere months after France lifted its final COVID restrictions, making its government-overreach paranoia hit uncomfortably close to home.
Taurand relocated Camus's Oran to an unnamed southern French city and added 'Plan D'—the original novel never specified the government's methods, leaving this series' bureaucratic horror entirely its own invention.
