In addition to its new scripted TV offering, France TV Distribution is launching sales of Season 2 of the OCS Signature drama-comedy “The Aerobics Project” (“Toutouyoutou”), a fun, light dramedy set in a France in 1982 that is in the grip of American pop culture, including aerobics.

The first season of "The Aerobics Project" was created by writing team Maxime Donzel and Géraldine de Margerie and David Coujard. It began with disheveled forty-something housewife Karine (Claire Dumas), who lives in Blagnac, a dull suburb of Toulouse in the South of France, except that it is the birthplace of French aviation. One day, she stumbles open-mouthed into an aerobics class taught by tall instructor Jane (ALexia Barlier), a recent arrival from the US with a keen interest in Project 37, a top-secret program run by Karine's husband at the local aerospace company.

In Season 2, Karine has caught Jane as an industrial spy, taken a job at the company, and is forced to work with Jane. But their mission proves complicated until Tom Jane's liaison officer also shows up to help.
