Walter Presents: Bright Eyed Revenge, Season 1
Bright Eyed Revenge is a twisting mystery that takes place in Nice, and follows Olivia as she returns to avenge the murders of her family. Ten years after escaping a planned murder that left her family dead, Olivia returns to the Cote D’Azur with a new identity and a new motive: revenge. To achieve this, she must face a powerful network of corruption, and a group who are responsible for numerous crimes who rule the roost.
Armed with unstoppable motivation, she decides to infiltrate the wealthy local family, the Chevaliers, who she knows to be implicated in the death of her family. In order to find out who is directly responsible she must destroy a family that happens to be that of her ex-boyfriend with whom she may still be in love with…
Walter Presents: The Crimson Rivers, Season 1
The Crimson Rivers is a gripping series set in the realms of sadistic killers, creepy rituals and mysterious incidents. Based on the 2000 blockbuster of the same name (starring Vincent Cassel and Jean Reno), The Crimson Rivers is a French crime thriller that follows conflicted cop duo Camille Delauney and Pierre Niémans.
Niémans and Camille are called from all over rural France to solve complex cases which involve a weird brutality far beyond the capacity of local police departments.

sleuth, whereas Camille is bold, brave and not afraid of over-stepping the mark… yet together they make a charismatic and driven duo who will stop at nothing to catch a killer.
Transporting viewers to the most isolated and alien corners of France, this atmospheric and mesmerizing series promises to be as compelling as it is chilling.
Walter Presents: A Deadly Union, Season 1
From the creator of ‘Vanished by the Lake’, A Deadly Union starts off deceptively light and breezy against the backdrop of a wedding being held in the stunning town of Cassis, but the celebrations end abruptly when the bride is found dead. Although initially believed to be suicide, a lack of motive forces a family friend to investigate the possibility of murder. What follows is a series of deceit, manipulation and suspicion as detective Vincent begins to unveil a trail of very dark secrets…
Sandra and William are getting married by the beautiful Provence sea. Alice, Sandra’s sister who left for Australia against her family’s will 4 years previously, reappears to join in on the festivities. Everyone is celebrating the happy couple tying the knot… until Sandra is found dead on the rocky coastline below the venue. The initial conclusion is that Sandra had committed suicide, but Alice suspects that something much more sinister is going on. This prompts Vincent to investigate Sandra’s death. Vincent begins to suspect murder when he notices a wedding guest nobody recognizes. A string of evidence starts to uncover the true motive behind the killing and dark secrets buried deep within the family begin to emerge...

Walter Presents: Maltese: The Mafia Detective, Season 1
Set in Sicily in the 1970s, Maltese is a violent tale of corruption, power and personal vengeance as one man takes on the mafia.
Detective Dario Maltese (Kim Rossi Stuart) returns to his hometown in Sicily to attend a friend’s wedding and is immediately drawn back into the cruel and dishonest society he fled twenty years before. This time however, he must stay to uncover the truth: what starts out as a simple murder investigation quickly escalates, uncovering more disappearances, murders and ultimately exposing an impenetrable network of corruption and lawlessness. Driven by an insatiable urge for justice, Maltese soon finds himself fighting alone, untangling a complex network of assassins and criminals working alongside government officials and the elite. Dodging hitmen on his tail, witnessing the murders of friends and colleagues and forced to risk the life of the woman he loves, a shocking truth to a very personal tragedy awaits Maltese.
