The series premiered on French television October 27, 2012 on France 4, with broadcast rights sold to various European countries including Germany, Austria and Luxembourg through Sony Pictures Television:


"...the opening credits, narrated in French by voice actor Benoît Allemane, inform that the 'Métal Hurlant' ('screaming metal') is the last fragment of what was once a living planet, traveling through space and time..."


Cast includes Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, James Marsters, Michelle Ryan, David Belle, Dominique Pinon, Kelly Brook, Joe Flanigan and Rutger Hauer.
