This year, the presentation of the Vidocq Award adopts a new format:
For seven editions, internal security professionals have been awarding the Vidocq Prize for the best French police series of the year. The latter salutes the quality and credibility, without taboos or wooden language, of the winning series.
The Vidocq Prize 2026 is awarded this year to LES DISPARUES DE LA GARE, a series created by Gaëlle Bellan and directed by Virginie Sauveur, produced by Itinéraire Productions and broadcast on Disney+.
The series is awarded by the jury for its realism and its nuanced way of depicting a criminal investigation, as well as for the accuracy of the female characters, particularly well exploited on screen.
The ceremony will be held in public at the UGC Ciné-Cité de Lille, on Monday 23 March at 11:30 am. It will be followed by an exchange between members of the winning artistic team and jury representatives, around a selection of excerpts marked or questioned.
