WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MHz Choice kicks off its 2021 slate of episodic TV releases on January 5th with the eighth and final season of the much-lauded French police procedural, Spiral, and the first release in their new Movie of the Week Collection, A Change of Heart, starring venerable French TV and stage actor Pierre Arditi (Blood of the Vine) as a physician who finds himself in the unfamiliar role of patient. Wolfsland, a crime thriller from Germany, post-WWII drama, The War is Over from Italy and the Love In… collection from France round out the MHz Choice January slate.
"Of course, we're sad that the end of Spiral is upon us, but it's thrilling to watch Caroline Proust, Thierry Godard, Audrey Fleurot and the rest of the cast turn in such high-caliber performances after eight seasons," said Lance Schwulst, MHz Networks, VP of Content. "We can't wait to see what's up next from them."
Also on January 5th, MHz Networks, in cooperation with Paris-based Film & Picture TV Distribution, is rolling out the first of 52 films in its Movie of the Week Collection with the release of A Change of Heart. "It's a great opportunity for us to introduce new genres into our library while giving us the flexibility to react quickly to audience reception," said Schwulst. "I'm confident they'll appreciate the variety of stories and the familiar faces of actors they've come to love from our French episodic content."
