Singapura on Canal+: discover the new event series and its mystery cast
Dive into the secrets of Singapore with Singapura, Canal+'s new original creation starring Nailia Harzoune and Léo Dussollier.
Between expatriate secrets, false pretenses and a gripping investigation, Singapura stands out as one of the must-see series events of November 2026 on Canal+. Led by a top-tier cast, this six-episode original creation transports us straight into the ultra-modern city of Singapore.
A tense literary adaptation
Freely adapted from the novel L’expatriée by Elsa Marpeau — who is also the creator and screenwriter of the show —, the plot follows Justine. She arrives in Asia with the firm intention of reinventing herself far from home. Between futuristic skyscrapers and the mangrove, she quickly integrates into the closed circle of French expatriates. There, she meets Élisa, a free spirit who instantly fascinates her. But the apparent peace is shattered when a murder disrupts this cozy community, dragging Justine and Inspector Adam Wong into a spiral of mysteries.
An exceptional cast and a family nod
On the casting side, fans of French fiction will feel right at home. The screen features Nailia Harzoune, Soji Arai, India Hair, Ariane Labed, Cédric Kahn, Pierre-Yves Cardinal, and Florence Loiret Caille. Among these familiar faces, the most attentive cinephiles will not have missed Léo Dussollier. The actor, previously seen in Capitaine Marleau, Luther and the series La Fièvre, plays Simon, the heroine's partner. A family name that resonates particularly in the French cinematic landscape, as he is none other than the son of André Dussollier, a major figure in French cinema and a three-time César winner.
Whether you are a fan of psychological thrillers or curious to discover the sumptuous landscapes of Singapore through the prism of a complex police investigation, this new television offering is clearly worth a look on the encrypted channel.
