In April 2025, Next Door Adventures, a new creation by Guillaume Sanjorge , marks an important step: the entry of the French short format on Stardust TV , a Chinese platform dedicated to Duanju.


This is a first for the Asian app: a French-language series, filmed entirely in France, is joining its international catalog. Subtitled in eight languages (English, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, and German), the series is open to a wide global audience.


Launched in July 2024, Stardust TV has already surpassed 10 million downloads on Google Play and is establishing itself as one of the new leaders in the mobile short drama market. The illustration of the top 8 entertainment apps on the App Store, dated April 7, 2025, shows that Stardust TV is in 3rd place.

A whimsical romance


Written by Guillaume Sanjorge and directed by Jérémy Haeffele, Next Door Adventures follows the adventures of a young man charmed by his neighbor. What begins as a sweet romance gradually turns into a burlesque fantasy: ghosts, an intrusive butler, invisible priests, and Vikings invite themselves into their daily lives. The aesthetic in 9:16 emphasizes faces and looks, to the rhythm of interactions in a dreamlike world.


An atypical distribution


The series brings together an unconventional cast, mixing established talents with emerging figures. Lana Sfera, a Ukrainian refugee living in Paris, makes her acting debut in the lead role of the charming neighbor, opposite Guillaume Sanjorge. The cast also includes Jean-Louis Barcelona, a prolific film actor who plays a somewhat intrusive butler; Michel La Rosa, a former TV host and actor in the role of the family father; Gérald Michiara, a former top-level athlete and the face of the French army's communication, who portrays a fictional military leader; Sylvain Binetti, a cabaret artist in the role of the older brother; and Stéphane Martinet, a theater actor who embodies an enigmatic clerical figure. The entire series is punctuated by appearances from a group of Vikings from another era: the Barbebarian clan.
