France TV Distribution, the commercial arm of France Télévisions, is set to showcase its latest period drama-thriller “Sorority” at the London TV Screenings. The series follows the story of three women in 1889 Paris – a wet-nurse, a midwife, and a grieving mother – as they navigate a male-dominated society.
The lead role in “Sorority” is played by Lula Cotton-Frapier, known for her performance in Dominik Moll’s award-winning film “The Night of the 12th.” The series is written by Alexandra Echkenazi, who has previously worked on successful TV shows like “Simon Coleman” and the period romance “Rosalie.”

The plot of “Sorority” revolves around Rose, a young woman who takes on the role of a wet nurse for a wealthy family in Paris. She forms a bond with Odette, a midwife, who warns her about the challenges she will face in keeping her own child. To overcome this obstacle, Rose decides to pass off her baby as the child of a grieving mother, Hélène de Gersande.
As the three women – Rose, Odette, and Hélène – come together to defy societal norms and assert their independence, they must navigate a world that is not ready to accept their strength. The series boasts a talented ensemble cast including Barbara Probst, Jonathan Zaccaï, and David Kammenos.
Produced by Lincoln TV for France TV, “Sorority” is a collaboration between France Télévisions, La Compagnie Cinématographique, and Panache Productions. The series promises to captivate audiences with its compelling storyline and stellar performances.
