Their father's artwork mysteriously resurfaces at an exhibition at the Eiffel Tower, prompting the sisters to risk everything to uncover the truth behind their father's tragic fate.
TF1 describes the plot:
"The series traces the story of “Cat's Eyes” back to its roots, and follows the adventures of the three Chamade sisters as they improvise a series of daring heists around the French capital's most iconic (and security-conscious) monuments."
As they navigate their double lives and personal connections, including a twist involving the police commissioner chasing them, viewers can expect a thrilling mix of action, romance, and comedy.
An Acclaimed Franchise
Originally published from 1981 to 1985, Hōjō's manga centered on the lives of three sisters who are skilled art thieves by night. The franchise has inspired two television anime seasons and various adaptations over the years, including a recent anime crossover with Lupin III.
Additionally, Disney is currently producing a new anime adaptation of Cat's Eyes, planned for release on Disney+ in 2025.
