Canal+ Sets Docuseries on Kim Kardashian’s 2016 Paris Robbery

The project uses rare access to the robbers’ circle to recast the high‑profile heist as a planned job shaped by insider tips.

Overview

  • Canal+ and Pernel Media announced a four-part series titled “Kim, the Diamond and the Grandpa Robbers.”
  • Producers frame the robbery as a carefully planned operation driven by insider knowledge, based on interviews with gang members and their defense lawyers.
  • Agnès Buthion directs with Samuel Kissous and Fabrice Frank as executive producers and Clément Roquigny as creative producer.
  • An international version is in production with delivery targeted for early 2027.
  • Kim Kardashian is not involved in the production, which revisits the 2016 Paris heist where five men posing as police bound her and stole about $6 million in jewelry, a case that led to eight convictions out of 12 defendants in 2025 and the “Grandpa Robbers” moniker.
