BREAKING NEWS: ‘Rematch’ A New Chess Thriller

Unité, led by Bruno Nahon, stands as a rare gem in the French market, poised to captivate global audiences with its upcoming series "Rematch." Directed by Yan England and co-created with Nahon and André Gulluni, the show delves into the historic clash between Garry Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue in 1997. Commissioned by Arte in France, "Rematch" has already secured distribution deals with major outlets worldwide, including HBO Europe and Disney+. This marks a significant milestone for Unité, known for its bold and socially relevant content.

Nahon, the visionary behind Unité, has a track record of pushing boundaries with his productions. From critically acclaimed series like "The Churchmen," which scrutinizes the Catholic Church through the lens of seminarians in Paris, to thought-provoking films like "Father & Soldier" and "Class Act," Nahon's work consistently explores societal issues with depth and nuance. With "Rematch," Nahon embarks on his most ambitious project yet, a passion project that has been in development for four years. Drawing from his upbringing in a culturally rich Sepharadic Jewish family, Nahon's dedication to creating meaningful content that resonates with audiences is evident in every aspect of his work.
