Following the broadcast of its sixth original production, CACAO, CANAL+ is launching a new paranormal series, Hantés.
With this new creation, CANAL+ is expanding its catalog of strong programs with the ambition of picking up the pace. The group has set itself the goal of producing at least five original creations per year and, in the medium term, ten per year.

Designed as a series of eight 45-minute episodes, HANTES was filmed in South Africa over eight months and features more than 150 actors and extras.
It was a challenge to try to do as well as Hollywood! We were driven by the ambition to bring to life a high-quality African paranormal series with our ideas and ingenuity. South Africa has wonderful, mysterious, and ancient locations, and we knew we could take advantage of that,"
says GARETH CROCKER, the series' writer and director.
This 100% African series will begin airing on November 2 at 8:30 p.m. GMT on CANAL+.
