The Invisibles, the eerie crime drama with a group of “misfit cops”, has landed a streaming home in the UK. First airing in France in 2021, the French-language series follows a police team known as the Invisible Brigade.

Each episode follows the diverse group, who specialise in the art of unidentified bodies, as they race against time to identify a new victim and figure out how they died.

The logline reads: “Found an unknown body? Call The Invisibles, the misfit cops who have a week to solve the crimes behind nameless bodies; or into mass graves the victims go.”

The show has now been added to Channel 4’s streaming service today, meaning viewers in the UK can catch all six episodes now.

Known in France as Les Invisibles, the show was added to the streaming service’s Walter Presents platform, which aims to “highlight some of the very best in binge-worthy drama” via Channel 4.

The cases the gang have to investigate include a young bride who is discovered under a bridge, a skeleton found in the wall of a house and a case involving a pair of frozen feet.

Led by captain Darius (Guillaume Cramoisan), the team consists of a Duchess (Déborah Krey), a boxing champion named Ben (Quentin Faure) and a military veteran called Marie-Jo (Nathalie Cerda).

Joining them in the cast are Céclie Rebboah as Angie, Hugo Brune as Vanvelde, Douglas Grauwels as Alexis, Jérémie Covillault as Chistera, Anissa Allali as Leila and Florence Janas as Risser.

While four seasons have been made, with the last airing in France in 2024, only the first season is currently available on Channel 4, so we’ll have to wait and see if they add the rest.

If it’s crime dramas you’re after, Channel 4 recently added The Gulf, a New Zealand show focussing on a detective who loses her memory after being involved in a car crash that killed her husband.

The Invisibles is available to stream now on Channel 4.
