LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The storyline is the hero of each film, just as any movie or television series need a decent plot. 'Thicker Than Water' stars Nawell Madani and Paola Locatelli in a forthcoming French Netflix Original crime thriller series. It will be released on Netflix on Friday, April 7, 2023.

The title, a play on the idiom "blood is thicker than water," sums up this series about the value of sisterhood and family. Kahina Carina, Carima Amarouche, Ada Guechoud, Mayane Sarah El Baze, Paul Hamy, Vincent Rottiers, and Walid Afkir are among the cast members. This appears to be a legitimate series, if a little genre bending with the drug premise.
