Guillaume Perreault, the creator of the popular Bob, has produced his very first TV series, the first season of which is available in nine five-minute episodes on ICI Tou.tv Extra. His desire to offer something new to all admirers of the postman of the air has led to the creation of all new adventures, and of Odile, a comic character who wants to be the complete opposite of the hero.
“Bob is down to earth, he is composed, he has fears and does not like to step out of his comfort zone, recalls Guillaume Perreault. We created Odile so that she pulls him towards the side of adventure. She is more daredevil, more reckless, more go-getter and thinks less before taking action. […] We found it interesting to have the two antipodes, even if it is a great classic. »
No 3D
Very successful, the visual invoice of the television production plunges, from the first seconds, Bob’s fans into a universe that they know very well.

“I’ve always loved science fiction, but with The space factor, I didn’t want to create end-of-the-world stakes, fight evil and save the galaxy, says Guillaume Perreault. I find that science fiction is very interesting in itself and we don’t always have to have impossible situations where we are a hair’s breadth from saving the galaxy in each episode. »
And he is not the only one because his literary adventures have already been translated into eight languages and sold in more than 10 countries.
