Netflix puts Franck Gastambide in “Cage”

After the success of Validé on Canal+ and that of Medellín on Amazon, for his next series on MMA (Mixed Martial Arts or Free Fight) entitled La cage, the actor-director chose Netflix.

MMA legend Georges Saint-Pierre will play an important role

Currently filming, the series will welcome MMA legend Georges Saint-Pierre, who will play an important role. The rest of the cast will be made up of several great MMA figures: Ciryl Gane, Saladine Parnasse, Morgan Charrière, Abdoul Abdouraguimov, Taylor Lapilus, Ramzan Jembiev, Anissa Meksen, Bilel Jkitou, Souleymane Cissokho and Samy Sana.

First French series in the world of MMA

There will be 5 episodes of 45 minutes directed by Franck Gastambide and David Krespine. The actor-director specifies on his Twitter account: “After Validated, my new series will be on Netflix. I have been passionate about this sport for more than ten years. The cage will be the first French series in the world of MMA”.

We hope for him and his series that they will be up to Kingdom, the reference series on MMA broadcast between 2014 and 2017, where another Frank (Grillo) distributed fluff-pifs as one swings leaflet to a demonstration. A strong, emotional, atmospheric series. After Without Respite and the next new adaptation of The Wages of Fear, this is Franck Gastambide's third collaboration with Netflix.
