This is a list of scripted French TV shows. The first section covers shows that are currently, or have previously, been available to watch in the United Kingdom. The second section covers shows that are currently available with English subtitles in other countries, plus some shows that have previously aired on the French language channel TV5 (currently Channel 717 on Sky).
The lists are alphabetical but to find what you want quickly – or to search for the French title – use Ctrl and F.
Series currently or previously available in the UK.
The list includes current availability and provides a link to where you can watch. We’ve only included paid streaming services (Netflix, Prime Video, Now TV etc.) not services where you can pay for shows individually (itunes, Amazon Video). The initial UK channel is also shown where that differed. We’ve also added links showing availability in Australia and the United States but if we’ve missed any of those let us know.
