Curiously prolific novelist James Patterson may soon have another TV adaptation on his hands. French filmmaker Luc Besson and Oscar-winning actor Jean Dujardin are teaming up to make a potential ABC series out of Patterson's Luc Moncrief books.
Dubbed The French Detective, the drama would follows the titular Parisian detective (turned NYPD officer) who appears in Patterson books French Kiss, The Christmas Mystery and French Twist. The project is being described as a "light" and "sexy" procedural.
A put pilot commitment makes this Besson's TV directorial debut.

The series, titled “The French Detective,” is based on James Patterson’s Luc Moncrief mystery novels. The series is described as a light procedural drama that centers on Moncrief, a Parisian detective who moves to New York and joins the NYPD in order to leave his previous life behind and start fresh. The show would follow Moncrief as he and his blue collar female partner solve New York’s most complex and inscrutable crimes, while Luc simultaneously tries to keep his dark past from catching up to him.
