Based on actual events, Netflix’s ‘Reign Supreme’ (originally titled ‘Le Monde de Demain’) is a French biographical musical drama series created by Katell Quillévéré, Hélier Cisterne, Vincent Poymiro, and David Elkaïm. Set in the 80s, it gives us a glimpse into the past of the famous French band Suprême NTM and how it was formed. It follows two teenage friends — Didier Morville and Bruno Lopes — who hang out with each other frequently and dance, draw graffiti, and rap around the city. Together, the duo forges the birth of French hip-hop and turns it into one of France’s favorite genres of music.
