Directed by Igor Gotesman, Netflix’s recently released Fiasco series has been billed as a comedy that involves a director shooting his directorial debut. Raphaël Valande, a French director, sets out to create a movie aimed at paying tribute to his dead grandmother.

However, the character, played by the brilliant Pierre Niney, undergoes consistent issues as one of the members of the shooting team ends up trying to sabotage the filming. The television series was written by the likes of Nicolas Slomka and Tania Gotesman for Netflix and follows suit by employing a stellar cast of actors.

Season 1 of the series, which recently premiered worldwide on Netflix on April 30, stars the likes of Nini and François Civil, with Igor Gotesman himself playing a role in the series. The series has quickly attracted viewers across the US and seems to be headed towards becoming a sleeper hit. We look at all the characters and the actors behind them, for Fiaso’s Season 1.

First and foremost, the starring role of Raphael Valande goes to none other than Pierre Niney, who has been in the industry since 2007. Early reviews suggest that Niney has been seen in a different light in Fiasco, and has seemingly impressed viewers with his comedic timing.

Joining him as the protagonist of the series is none other than Francois Civil, who is seen in a double role in Fiasco. Civil stars as Tom and Barthabe, and has previously made a name for himself in projects such as Frank and As Above, So Below. He has previously been seen in multiple comedies and is only adding to his list of hilarious characters via Fiasco.

While the two major roles had both been named well before the premiere of the series, details about the roles other actors are playing will only be made evident after fans actually watch the show. Currently available to be streamed on Netflix, Fiasco stars a range of other familiar faces who are bound to add to the show’s charm.

It includes Geraldine Nakache, who has previously been seen in multiple positively-reviewed projects. These include Hey Good Looking!, Bad People, and several other French hits. The 44-year-old is now making her way to Netflix alongside some other actors that she has worked with before.
