Episode 2 begins immediately after the devastating assault on the secret military laboratory. While French authorities launch an official investigation into how the Germans discovered the hidden facility, Colonel Mirreau becomes increasingly concerned that the inquiry could expose years of classified research surrounding the Sentinels program. Determined to keep the project hidden from both the military and the public, he orders every surviving member of the unit to remain under strict supervision as investigators search for the source of the leak. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} Meanwhile, Gabriel Ferraud struggles to accept the cost of his survival. The experimental Dyxenal serum has healed his wounds with astonishing speed, but he learns that the French Army has officially declared him dead. The only way he will ever be allowed to reunite with his wife Irène and his family is by swearing complete loyalty to the Sentinels Brigade. Faced with an impossible choice, Gabriel reluctantly agrees to become part of the elite unit, sacrificing his former life in exchange for the hope of seeing his loved ones again once the war is over. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} As Gabriel begins adapting to his enhanced abilities, military doctors continue monitoring the unexpected effects of the serum. His physical recovery far exceeds normal human limits, but the treatment also triggers unpredictable bursts of aggression and fragmented memories that leave both Gabriel and the scientists questioning how much of his humanity the experiment may ultimately cost. Despite these concerns, Mirreau insists that the program cannot slow down, believing France needs the Sentinels more than ever as the war intensifies. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} Elsewhere, intelligence officers identify the mastermind behind the laboratory attack as Franz Gruber, a highly skilled German operative responsible for infiltrating Allied military operations. New evidence suggests that the raid was not intended merely to destroy the laboratory but to steal information about the serum itself. Convinced that Gruber could reveal the existence of an enemy super-soldier program, the French command orders the Sentinels to locate him before he disappears behind German lines. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} While Gabriel trains alongside veteran members of the brigade, he gradually earns their respect by refusing to let the serum define who he is. However, the secrecy surrounding the organization creates growing tension within the team, as rumors of a traitor inside the French military continue spreading. By the end of the episode, Gabriel officially becomes a member of the Sentinels, unaware that his first mission will place him directly in the path of the enemy spy responsible for changing his life forever. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

The Sentinels (Les Sentinelles) — Canal+'s boldest original series of 2025 rewrites World War I forever. Set in 1915, in the heart of the Great War, French soldier Gabriel Ferraud (Louis Peres) is left for dead on the battlefield. But instead of dying, he's chosen for something far stranger — a top-secret army program codenamed the Sentinelles. Injected with an experimental serum called Dyxenal, Gabriel wakes up stronger, faster, and nearly indestructible. He joins an elite unit of enhanced super soldiers, each fighting not just the Germans — but the terrifying side effects of their own transformation. But Gabriel is no ordinary Sentinel. He discovers a mysterious telepathic link with an enemy super soldier — the unstoppable Übermensch — on the German side. As the war rages and the serum's true cost becomes clear, Gabriel must choose between becoming a weapon of the state or protecting what's left of his humanity. Think Peaky Blinders meets Captain America — gritty, punk, and utterly original. 📺 Episodes: 8 Episodes (~52 min each) 🗓️ Premiered: September 29, 2025 on Canal
