About Néro the Assassin

Néro the Assassin (French: Néro) is a French adventure fantasy television series created by Allan Mauduit, Jean-Patrick Benes, Martin Douaire and Nicolas Digard, and starring Pio Marmaï. The series was released on Netflix on October 8, 2025. The project started as an adaptation of Jean-Philippe Jaworski's first speculative fiction fantasy novel Gagner la guerre (To the Victor go the Spoils). Similarities in stories include the assassin-spy and his high-ranked master, the road movie and chase theme, and the city-state of Lamartine and its analog in the novel of the Republic of Ciudalia as well as the witchcraft elements. However the series creators departed so much from the original that they agreed with the author that the final product was too different to be considered an adaptation.
