In Wisteria Lille, everything seems peaceful… but only on the surface! Look a little closer, and you’ll see that everyone has their secrets. What about Bree Van de Kamp’s secret? She’s a total series addict, and ever since she found out Series Mania Festival is returning to Lille from March 21 to 28, she’s been completely hooked! With a lineup that’s bold, iconic, and full of surprises—and with a little help from a special guest— Bree is all set to dive in and enjoy it to the fullest!

  • Written and directed by Léa Rouaud and Alex Ramirès.
  • Guest stars: the iconic Marcia Cross with her unmatched style, the talented Tomer Sisley as the neighbor with a shady past (and an expert in Maroilles cheese tarts 🧀), and the unforgettable voice of Françoise Cadol as the legendary Mary Alice Young.
  • Starring Laurence Herszberg, director (with a thousand faces) of Series Mania as the perfect « Beauté Désespérée » (😉 to our friends from Quebec), and Frédéric Lavigne, the festival’s artistic director, playing the role of the mysterious husband with flawless hair.
  • With support from: Région Hauts-de-France, Métropole européenne de Lille, Ville de Lille, CNC, Crédit Mutuel Nord Europe.
