The Hollywood studios may be sitting out the Cannes Film Festival but a more than respectable cohort of major U.S. players will hit Canneseries, Cannes TV festival, a month earlier. 

They are led by HBO with Richard Gadd’s highly anticipated “Half Man” which opens the French TV festival on April 23. “Half Man” screens in the evening day and date and a few hours after its release on HBO in the U.S. Other higher profile U.S. shows playing out of competition are world premieres: Apple TV+’s ““Star City,” produced by Sony Pictures Television, and “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” the third iteration of the Scott Free franchise, backed by AMC+ and Shudder.
