Development In April 2023, the
TF1 Group announced a French live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga series ''
Cat's Eye'' by
Tsukasa Hojo. The series was in development for
TF1 and
Amazon Prime Video. Benjamin Dupont-Jubien and Mehdi Sabbar were set to produce under Big Band Story. The two producers revealed that they were working on the project since 2017 although they had yet to obtain the rights from Hojo. The artist was convinced as he thought that the idea of modernizing the story was good, and liked the Parisian setting. To Frenchify the series, the production kept the names used for the characters in the French dub of the
1983 anime series, which had used French names despite taking place in Japan. A new version of the anime's French opening theme, titled "Signé Cat's Eyes" ("Signed Cat's Eyes"), was recorded for the series by Anne Sila. In February 2025, the series was renewed for a second season.
Casting In June 2023,
Camille Lou,
Constance Labbé and Claire Romain were cast for the roles of the three sisters. The series is the third collaboration between Lou and director Alexandre Laurent after the TF1/
Netflix's limited series
The Bonfire of Destiny, and
Women at War. Singer Mohamed Belkhir, know as MB14, was cast as Quentin Chapuis. Belkhir was offered to audition for the role through his agent, who knew the series's casting director. In October 2023,
Carole Bouquet and
Élodie Fontan joined the cast. This is the second time Fontan stars in a French adaptation of a
Tsukasa Hojo manga after the 2018 film
Nicky Larson et le parfum de Cupidon, based on
City Hunter. In May 2025, it was announced that
Cindy Bruna and
Grégory Fitoussi would not be returning for season two due to a scheduling conflict, and that both of their roles had been recast with
Tamara Marthe and
Arnaud Binard, respectively.
Lola Dewaere and
Tom Leeb also joined the cast.
Filming The first season began shooting in October 2023 in
Île-de-France, mainly in
Paris. Scenes were filmed at the
Eiffel Tower, the

Guimet Museum, the
Monnaie de Paris, and at the
