But it’s also fitting that “This is Not a Murder Mystery,”, a surprising crime drama set in the flamboyant 1930s following a group of young Surrealist artists, including Dali and Magritte, was born in the surrealist minds of Belgians. Based on an original idea by Matthias Lebeer & Christophe Dirickx, directed by “The Serpent” helmer Hans Herbots and written by Christophe Dirickx & Paul Baeten, the six-part 54-minutes episode series is produced by Panenka, which got very early and continuous support from Belgian public broadcaster VRT, before becoming an ambitious European TV series.  Related Stories ‘The Testaments’ Surprise: Elisabeth Moss on Returning as June After ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and What It Means for Agnes and Daisy
