Mon garçon Returns to Netflix France Top 10 Ahead of Tonight’s W9 Broadcast

Mon garçon Netflix France Top 10 and W9 broadcast with Guillaume Canet, Digi Mart USA News (France): Mon garçon, the thriller directed by Christian Carion, is currently among the most-watched films on Netflix in France. According to the publisher’s report, it ranked third on the daily French chart on November 7, 2026.

The film was released in cinemas on September 20, 2017, and has regained attention on Netflix nearly nine years later. It had already entered the platform’s weekly Top 10 for the period from October 26 to November 1.

Carion, known for Joyeux Noël and L’Affaire Farewell, directed the film, which stars Guillaume Canet, Mélanie Laurent and Olivier de Benoist. The French thriller runs 1 hour and 24 minutes.

The story follows Julien Perrin, played by Canet, who works abroad and travels frequently for his job. His repeated absences contributed to the breakup of his marriage.

While passing through France, he receives a disturbing message from his ex-wife Marie, played by Laurent, reporting that their seven-year-old son Mathys has disappeared during a school trip to the mountains.

Julien rushes to the site and begins searching for answers. Reviewing images from the trip, he notices a man near his son, and his suspicions lead him to conduct his own investigation, even if it means crossing legal boundaries.

According to the report, Carion did not give Canet the full script during filming in order to capture spontaneous reactions. The other actors had the information needed to move the plot forward.

The story’s major stages were prepared in advance, but Canet had to improvise part of his reactions and dialogue. Carion later applied a similar approach to My Son, the English-language remake released in 2021 with James McAvoy and Claire Foy.

Viewers can currently watch the film in two ways: on Netflix in France, and on W9 on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 9:10 p.m., as part of the channel’s film schedule. The broadcast is announced until 10:40 p.m., before Le Jardinier, another French film scheduled later in the evening.

The film is not presented as an adaptation of a specific true story. Its original screenplay was written by Carion and Laure Irrmann.
