Special Operations Unit
For fans of tactical action and French cinema. Leclercq knows how to build tension, and Sisley knows how to hold the screen. 6 episodes is the perfect format for a weekend if you want action without dragging it out.
Premiere on Netflix — July 22, 2026. David Karam (Tomer Sisley) is a senior officer in GIGN, the elite tactical unit of the French gendarmerie, preparing to leave fieldwork. But an unprecedented attack on the unit, the hijacking of military explosives, and the emergence of an invisible enemy force him to return. Meanwhile, David must protect Max — his 25-year-old godson, who has just joined GIGN, despite all attempts to keep him away. The closer David gets to the enemy, the more the past he thought was buried resurfaces. The format consists of 6 episodes of 42–55 minutes, each a separate chapter of the hunt. Julien Leclercq, director of "The Assault," films with the support of real GIGN: tactical operations, training, equipment — all authentic. If you enjoy action that serves character development rather than just spectacle — go for it.
yes. But there is less politics here, more personal relationships and military operations.
