38. Marseille - Season 2

Netflix's first foray into a French language drama didn't prove overly successful, with the show getting a particularly poor reception in France itself.

The series aimed to be something akin to a continental version of House of Cards, with Gerard Depardieu playing a mayor who becomes embroiled in a bitter battle with his protege-cum-rival. It missed the target first time around, but it's getting another chance.

It's another renewal that comes as a slight surprise, but Marseille will return later this year. It should be quite timely too, given the French Presidential election will also be taking place.
