Beside , a core partner of the epic series originated by Canal+ and broadcast worldwide.

Lead produced by Banijay Studios France and Capa Drama (group Newen), this historical saga immerses viewers in the heart of courtly intrigues at Versailles and continues to captivate audiences worldwide, thanks to its international distribution by Banijay Rights (over 70 territories sold).

Season 2 benefited from a rich collaboration with Belgium via Beside. Beyond the obvious Tax Shelter financing brought by Beside Tax Shelter, Beside also secured multiple additional funding sources for the project, including Belgian VOD platform Proximus and the Belgian regional funds Screen Brussels and Wallimage.

Beside also ensured the participation of major Belgian creative and technical talents, such as director Raf Reyntjens, who helmed episodes 5 to 8 and brought his unique vision to this royal epic, with Danny Elsen acting as Director of Photography. Belgian actors Martin Swabey, Vincent Londez and Michael Pas also contributed to the series.

A large part of the post-production took place in Belgium, with companies like Benuts, Boxon, Bardaf, and Nudge handling VFX and sound post-production.
