Servant (Apple TV +): justice will look into a complaint for plagiarism

The excellent series Servant would it be a vulgar plagiarism? The director’s first complaint Francesca Gregorini had been rejected by justice in 2020, but the second will have been the good one. The judges will therefore consider the plagiarism complaint against Apple and M. Night Shyamalan. Francesca Gregorini accuses the Apple TV+ series Servant of drawing too much inspiration from the thriller she directed in 2014, The truth about Emanuel.

The screenplay elements of the film would be almost identical to those of the series. We would therefore find a destructured family after the loss of a child as well as an affective transfer on a doll supposed to represent the missing child. The copy would extend to directing choices, main characters and of course the script. Francesca Gregorini claims damages but also the prohibition of production of new seasons of Servant. Given the “speed” of processing this type of case by the American courts, Apple TV+ will no doubt have time to produce a 4th (and final?) season.
