Zodiak Belgium Triggers Production on GR5 for VRT En

Zodiak Belgium, a Banijay Group company, today confirms production on new psychological thriller, GR5, for VRT E n in Belgium, will start tomorrow.

Directed by Jan Matthys (Quiz me Quick, In Vlaamse Velden, The Last Kingdom), the new scripted series will star Boris Van Severen (Over Water, Belgica, De 16), Lucas Van den Eynde (Van Vlees en bloed, Salamander, Met Man en Macht) and Violet Braeckman (Salamander, Over Water), Sa d Boumazoughe (Patser), Laurian Callebaut, Indra Cauwels Viv Van Dingenen (Witse, Thuis) and Michai Geyzen (Girl, Professor T.).

GR5 revolves around four people in their mid-twenties who embark on the Grote Route Pad 5, to commemorate their friend Lisa who went missing on the path five years before. The journey will change them forever: the heavy physical effort and mutual tensions lead to a confrontation, and a search to uncover the truth behind Lisas mysterious disappearance. Did she start a new life? Was there an accident? Or was she harmed?

With a diary revealing an act of desperation, her friends Zo , Michiel and Ylena, decide to make the same journey, from the North Sea over the Ardennes, the Vosges and the French Alps to the Riviera. Coming together, the explorers all have different reasons for making the journey, but one common goal unites them to find Lisa, dead OR alive.

Jan Matthys, Director, comments: I know from experience that being on a journey can trigger a kind of inner compass. Sooner or later we will be confronted with our inner knot. We are then faced with the choice: do we dare to look at it or walk around it? Do we find the courage to untangle it?

Serge Bierset, Executive Producer, Zodiak Belgium, comments: This epic journey of discovery is set to deliver mystery, suspense, drama and shock in equal measures. Set against the contrast of the rough North Sea and picturesque Alps and Riviera, we are focused on delivering a high-quality thriller with global appeal that keeps audiences wanting more.

Wim Janssen, Content Manager, VRT, comments: Going on a long-distance hike like GR5 is a perfect metaphor for one of today's great challenges: finding your own path in life. In GR5, a group of friends starts a journey to commemorate the disappearance five years ago of one of their number. But will they find themselves or will the dark secrets of their past overtake them?

GR5 was devised and written by Gert Goovaerts and Lynnsey Peeters (Tom & Harry). The show will be produced by Zodiak Belgium and distributed by Banijay Rights.
