France tv distribution is delighted to announce the sale of the series ABOUT SASHA to the DISNEY+ platform (EMEA).

Winner of the Best Series Award at the Séries Mania 2022 Festival (French Competition), ABOUT SASHA, a nuanced drama about self-assertion, produced by Jerico TV, will be broadcast on the DISNEY+ platform in Europe (excluding France), Middle East and Africa in 2023.

Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"About Sasha is a series full of energy and light, emotions and honesty about the difficult subject of the search of identity. The series concerns us all and we are more than happy about the international release on DISNEY+."

Clara Laplace, Éric Jehelmann and Philippe Rousselet (Jerico TV Producers):

"At Jerico TV, we are very happy and proud to be associated with the DISNEY+ platform, which offers viewers content that participates in the social debates of our time. This is a great opportunity for the series About Sasha to travel around the world and discover a strong and still unknown subject, that of intersex."

Yaël Langmann (writer and co-director):

"This collaboration with Disney fills us with joy, especially since it salutes the work of the entire team that worked on About Sasha. For me, Disney has always represented a magical-sounding entity whose core business has always been to tell stories. And what stories! We couldn't be prouder to have such a prestigious partner with such committed choices."

After moving out, Sasha just arrived in a new high school. Mysterious and charismatic, she leaves a strong impression on anyone she meets. And, like any self-respecting teenager, making new friendships, flirting with boys and fighting with her parents are part and parcel of her everyday life. Except, until two weeks ago, Sasha was still considered a boy. Born with an intersex condition, she has now decided to embrace her female side. But her secret must remain hidden!
