Season 1 of Simon Coleman introduces a light crime drama with a strong family-centered twist. The story follows Parisian undercover cop Simon Coleman (played by Jean-Michel Tinivelli of Alice Nevers fame) whose life is abruptly upended when his sister dies in an accident. Moving south to their home in Aix-en-Provence, he becomes the unexpected guardian of her three children, forcing him to juggle demanding police work with sudden single parenthood.

The series blends procedural cases with domestic comedy and emotion. Each episode features Simon investigating crimes – often serious but treated with a relatively accessible tone – while also navigating school runs, teenage conflicts and the practical realities of raising kids. His parenting struggles gradually soften his previously solitary, work-focused personality.

Supporting characters include his new colleagues at the local police station and the children themselves, who each bring distinct personalities and challenges into Simon’s life. The dynamic between professional duty and family responsibility forms the core of the show’s appeal.

Simon Coleman Season 1 streams April 28th, 2026 on MHz Choice.
