HBO Max announces new French medical drama ‘Rush’

HBO Max has announced the development of a new medical drama titled ‘Rush’ for the French market. Unveiled at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival, the series is intended to emulate the success of the American award-winning drama ‘The Pitt’.

Set in Paris, ‘Rush’ will follow mobile medical first responder units operating in diverse locations, including metro carriages, private homes, and city landmarks. The series is created and written by Nils-Antoine Sambuc, with co-writers Gaëlle Bellan, Maya Haffar, and Maxime Crupeaux, and executive producer Neal Baer.

In addition to the medical drama, HBO Max France is developing a police thriller titled ‘Bodycam’. The project, involving Timothée Hochet and Benjamin Adam, follows two officers attempting to cover up an incident involving an unarmed teenager, only to face unexplained attacks after the teenager disappears with incriminating footage.
