Sirius Media Secures Two Adaptation Options with Écrin Publishing
On July 13, 2026, Sirius Media signed two exclusive option contracts with Écrin Publishing to adapt two books: 'Talk Chaud', a noir novel by Lionel Abbo envisioned with Thierry Ardisson, and 'September 11, at the Foot of the Towers', a testimony by Mikaël Benfredj. These projects are part of the group's accelerated production strategy, based on the integration of artificial intelligence.
Écrin Publishing, led by David Benaym and Lionel Abbo, granted Sirius Media Production two option contracts for the audiovisual adaptation rights of these works. 'Talk Chaud' benefits from the notoriety of Thierry Ardisson among French-speaking audiences, while 'September 11, at the Foot of the Towers' relates to the memorial context of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks planned for September 2026. The options have an initial duration of six months, renewable. The group plans to produce teasers entirely created using artificial intelligence (via its tools Sirius AI Script and Sirius AI Edit) starting early September 2026, before committing full production budgets.

Sirius Media will apply its accelerated production model: aiming to bring the adaptations to screen within 8 to 12 months after the option is exercised, compared to 24 to 36 months in a traditional production cycle. This schedule relies on the integration of artificial intelligence at every stage, from writing to editing. The two projects will also serve as a testing ground for the group's direct distribution strategy: the content will be broadcast via digital channels operated in-house, allowing the group to capture a larger share of the generated value.
Catalog Expansion and Future Discussions
These two options enrich the catalog of Sirius Media, which includes over 600 hours and 200 titles. The group has also initiated exploratory discussions with Écrin Publishing about reviving other intellectual properties from the catalog, including 'Commissaire Moulin' and 'Frank Riva'.
