Overview
La Mante is a French thriller miniseries that premiered in 2017. The production consists of six episodes, each lasting 52 minutes. Created by Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, Grégoire Demaison, Nicolas Jean, and Laurent Vivier, the show was first broadcast on TF1 in September 2017 before becoming available on Netflix. The plot centers on Jeanne Deber, a notorious serial murderer known as La Mante, who terrorized France more than two decades ago. After spending years in isolation, she is compelled by the police to assist in capturing a copycat killer who is mimicking her past crimes. Deber agrees to cooperate with the authorities under one specific condition: she will only communicate with her estranged son, Damien Carrot. Carrot, who became a police officer as a direct result of his mother's criminal history, has maintained no contact with her since the time of her original arrest. The series explores their forced collaboration as they work to track down the individual responsible for the new wave of murders.
