Ethernel – 2026

The dead have a lot to say. Are you ready to listen ? - 6 x 52’

Scripted

Thanks to a revolutionary scientific breakthrough, the dead can now communicate with the living via a terminal: the ETHERNA. Police officer David Novack, haunted by the death of his wife, works in a new squad tasked with finding the transitional objects needed to establish communication and taking post-mortem statements from victims.

A routine investigation in tandem with Lara, a mysterious Italian detective, will shatter his beliefs, but also potentially lead him to closure.

Why we like it:

This highly original concept does not only bring mystery and thrills but it also raises emotional stakes and topic interrogations about how technology impacts how we relate to each other and to the world.
