Spiral: Season 5 (Engrenages) (France)
The start of the second half of this hit cop drama’s eight-season run finds Laure learning that she’s pregnant. This, though, doesn’t stop her from plunging into the case of a mother and daughter found tied up under a barge. Judge Roban is convinced that the victim’s husband, defended by Pierre, is guilty. However, when Laure and her team discover a link between the double murder and a gang of robbers, the investigation takes another turn. Meanwhile, Joséphine continues her crusade against crooked police officers and agrees to defend Gilou when he is accused.
Both the English-subtitled and English-dubbed versions of Spiral: Season 5 begin streaming in the US and Canada on Thursday, February 29, on Topic and its digital channels, including Topic on Prime Channels. Three episodes will drop each week through March 21.
