Sonia Cordeau, Virginie Fortin, Edith Cochrane, Steve Laplante, Marc Labrèche, Alice Pascual, Katherine Levac, Isabelle Vincent, Linda Malo, Étienne Lou, and several other actors join forces in a new Crave original.

The series, which has just begun filming, will be available this fall on Crave.

This fall, Crave will present the series BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT (Inspirez expirez), an original idea by Sonia Cordeau in collaboration with Jean-François Chagnon and Katherine Levac. Comprising of 10 30-minute episodes, this new series which combines the codes of dramatic comedies, social satire, and suspense, is the result of a script by Sonia Cordeau, directed by Jean-François Chagnon, and script-edited by Frédéric Ouellet.

“The comedic talent of Sonia Cordeau and Jean-François Chagnon is undeniable. It’s a joy to see them come together, supported by a brilliant cast, to create a thriller-like comedy, filled with humanity,” commented Suzane Landry, Vice President, Content Development, Programming and Information at Bell Media.

For Sonia Cordeau, the series highlights themes of authenticity and friendship. “In theory, going on a yoga retreat involves connecting with our authenticity. But the characters don’t take responsibility for their life choices; they’re afraid of displeasing others, which only fuels their problems. The series is also a story of sisterhood and friendship, because we’re stronger when we’re together and heading in the same direction,” said the screenwriter.

BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT stars Sophie (Sonia Cordeau) and Vicky (Virginie Fortin), two women in their early thirties who share the same circle of friends. They don’t like each other and have nothing in common, except for their birthdays. This year, they receive the same gift from their friends: a yoga retreat deep in the woods. It’s a disaster for both of them, especially since they’re forced to share the same cabin and struggle to tolerate each other. A few shavasanas certainly aren’t going to bring them closer together…

Their forced respite takes a surprising turn when the body of a participant is found in the forest. Forced to stay put during the seemingly bogus police investigation, Sophie and Vicky must join forces to identify the killer and save themselves. They might even end up liking each other…

The series will feature a cast of actors renowned for their ability to walk the fine line between drama and comedy, including Sonia Cordeau, Virginie Fortin, Édith Cochrane, Steve Laplante, Isabelle Vincent, Marc Labrèche, Tony Calabretta, Raphaëlle Lalande, Chantal Baril, François Ruel-Côté, Linda Malo, Katherine Levac, Alice Pascual, Étienne Lou, Gary Boudreault, Pierre Brassard, and Jean-François Provençal. It will also showcase the talents of Melania Balmaceda Venegas, Justine Ashby, Mollie Fillion, Benoit Essiambre, and Lena Leroux.

BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT is produced by Avanti-Toast in collaboration with Bell Media.
