Laurent Mercier

After graduating from the European Conservatory of Script Writing (CEEA, Paris) in 2010, Laurent worked for three years as a freelance writer for French TV broadcasters (dramas, soap, comedy) while also working on independent movies and documentary projects. In 2014, he graduated from the first promotion of SERIAL EYES (Berlin). Since then, he worked for several international coproduction series, such as “The Club” (Arte), “Raizan” (Tellux, Iris), or his own series “The Gamble” before co-writing the arcs and two episodes of the Grimme Special Award winner mini-series “Eden” (Arte, SWR, ARD, 2019). In 2020, he created with director Gilles Bannier the upcoming international mini-series “Flight MH370” (France 2, Alef One, Banijay) and co-wrote four of the six episodes. Laurent has also co-written the feature film “Putains” produced by Ingonita Films (Edouard de Vésinne), directed by Anne Le Ny (into production); and an episode of the upcoming Anne Landois’s new series “La Promesse” (TF1, 2020). He develops his own series “A Better Place” co-written with Alexander Lindh, and produced by Komplizen Films.
