What happens

Anthracite (French: Anthracite: Le mystère de la secte des Écrins) is a six part French television series, created by Fanny Robert and Maxime Berthemy and released on 10 April 2024, on Netflix. Included in its cast are the rapper Hatik, Noémie Schmidt, and Camille Lou. It is loosely based on the Order of the Solar Temple, a group which was tied to several mass suicides. It is not a direct recreation of the Solar Temple story, as the group and people depicted are all wholly fictional. The series received mixed reviews, with praise for the scenic appeal of its settings and mystery, but criticism over its plot and storytelling. Anthracite was Netflix's first "ecologically sensitive" production, with the production involving an "eco-referrent" who measured the climate impact of the series, and with a portion of the carbon cost being donated by Netflix.
