Directed by Jessica Palud, created and co-written by Jean-Baptiste Delafon alongside Palud and Gaëlle Bellan, this six-episode reimagining of the highly effective and popular story is a French HBO Original, arriving on November 14. If you're expecting another mirror of the novel or any of the movies, this new series dodges the expected. Here, the lady Isabelle de Merteuil, her equally conniving lover Sébastien de Valmont, and the other well-known characters are reconfigured with many of their plotlines and traits broken up and redistributed.
