The subscription video platform Salto, owned by France Télévisions, TF1 and M6 is expected to be released in September, October 2020. Its release was postponed due to the global coronavirus pandemic. Since Wednesday, its beta version has been open to 300 testers, so as to ensure a deployment in the fall. According to its director general Thomas Follin who was interviewed by Les Echos, 15,000 hours of programs should be offered at launch. This will mainly be French and European content. Negotiations are underway with Orange and Bouygues Telecom for a presence on their boxes. Salto has just acquired That's how I love you. This is a Quebec series presented at the Berlinale by distributor Cineflix Rights.
This series is a reflection of what Salto wants to embody
The first season of C'est comme ça que je t'aime will have 10 episodes. It was directed by Jean-François Rivard and written by François Létourneau. They have already worked together on Les Invincibles and Série Noire. This macabre comedy is set in the 1970s and revolves around two couples in crisis. After dropping their children off at a summer camp in July 1974, their quest for marital happiness led them to make a series of drastic decisions and, eventually, they became the most infamous quartet of criminals in Quebec history. Quoted by Variety, Salto's chief content officer, Thomas Crosson, said that That's how I love you represents exactly what Salto wants to embody, "an offering with bold and original content, a perfect blend of freedom of tone and dark humor."
