A math‑savvy crook goes undercover as a teacher in Netflix’s new French comedy showcased at Séries Mania.

Alexandre Kominek stars in Netflix’s upcoming French comedy Flunked.

Eddy — played by Alexandre Kominek — is a math genius and small‑time crook who suddenly finds himself staring down real jail time. His only way out? A wildly questionable deal: go undercover as a high‑school teacher and quietly identify the hidden child of a major criminal. Because nothing says “rehabilitation” like tossing a fraud into a classroom full of teenagers.

As expected, things go sideways fast. Eddy slips into escapism, chaos, and hilariously good trouble, juggling fake lesson plans, suspicious students, and the constant threat of blowing his cover. It’s messy, it’s charming, and it’s very French.

The series is part of Netflix’s 2026 French lineup, featured at the prestigious Séries Mania festival — a prime spotlight for Europe’s buzziest new shows.
