Kino Lorber's MHz has acquired the new French police drama “Tom & Lola” for the U.S. in a pre-sale ahead of the series' premiere at this year's Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Le Havre, which opens Monday.

The 12-episode series, which is being produced internationally by Mediawan Rights, is about two good friends and fellow agents who move in and work together after a marriage breakup. The series has also been sold to Discovery in Italy.

Created by Camille Couasse and Sarah Farkas, produced by DEMD Productions (known for the internationally successful light-crime series “Tandem”), and directed by Jason Roffé, ““Tom & Lola” blends the procedural crime genre with compelling feel-good family elements, responding to the current market demand for light crime stories that offer a mix of humor and mystery,” according to Mediawan Rights.

Although Tom and Lola Best have been best friends since high school, they are two very different agents: she is a hot-headed captain of the judicial police, while he is a calm and collected drug agent. The partners love each other like siblings, so when Tom's wife decides she wants a divorce, Lola asks him to move in with her.
