**Detective Conan** is known as ***Détective Conan*** in **France**. In France and other French-speaking countries, the manga has been published in French by Kana since 1997, with 105 volumes available. The animated series has been broadcast since 2004 and is available on the Animation Digital Network (ADN) streaming platform for simulcast, as well as on Pluto TV and the Mangas channel (on Prime Video, Molotov TV and Canal+) for dubbed episodes.
While the manga is published regularly in volumes, the anime's distribution has long been complicated, with sporadic television broadcasts, before ADN obtained the SVOD rights to the series in 2015 for simulcast. As for the films, the first five were released on DVD by Kazé between 2007 and 2009, before being re-released on Blu-ray by Blackbox, along with films 6 to 22. More recently, Eurozoom has been releasing the latest films since 2021 in theaters, on VOD, and on Blu-ray.
The first 214 episodes (230 in international numbering), films 1 to 6, 24 to 26, and 28 have been dubbed. The first five films have a different voice cast from the other films and the animated series.
As of 2026, the latest volume published is [volume 105](/wiki/Volume_105 "Volume 105") and the previous volumes, including the first ones, are still being reprinted by Kana, with a few corrections from the first printings. Many translators have been working on the manga since the first publication of volume 1 on April 5, 1997, but it is currently Cyril Coppini since volume 75.
In the French version of Detective Conan, nearly all the characters have kept their Japanese names. A notable exception would be [Megure](/wiki/Juzo_Megure "Juzo Megure"), who is referred as Maigret in the manga and Mégur in the dubbed version of the first movie. Vermouth was also named Belmotte in her first appearance in volume 24 and the French dub of the anime.

## Anime[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_in_France&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Anime")]
Detective Conan made its French anime debut on Cartoon Network on January 4, 2004, where only the first 51 episodes was dubbed. On January 3, 2005, the show stated to air to France 3's afternoon show, [France Truc](http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Truc) for one year. For this broadcast, AB Distribution, the licensee in France, dubbed a selection of additional episodes from among those chosen by France 3's youth unit. In August 2006, Cartoon Network re-aired the series, with forty-five new episodes, including the one featuring Ai Haibara. These episodes were not shown on France 3 and were dubbed for the occasion, with the remaining episodes out of the 214 purchased by AB. Between 2008 and 2010, the AB Group channels (NT1, La chaîne Mangas, AB1) re-aired the series with a few additional dubbed episodes that had never been seen elsewhere. It will be March 2022 before all 214 episodes dubbed in French are available for streaming, with their original dubbing in a censored version, including those that have never been broadcast on television.
Meanwhile, after March 24, 2008, the Mangas channel broadcast the first 30 episodes for the first time in an uncensored version, with an initial remastering of the dubbed version to match the Japanese material used for the occasion. In September 2021, the 42 first episodes arrived on Netflix, with the recent japanese HD remaster in an uncensored version. The French dubbing has been remastered once again, along with new Shinichi recorded lines by Bruno Mullenaerts to replace the ones that got lost. In May 2022, the episodes 43 to 84 arrived on Netflix, still with the japanese HD and French Dub remaster. Seasons 3 and 4 will follow in the coming months before being removed from the catalog in 2023. Season 5, with the latest episodes dubbed in French with the Japanese HD version, will only be available in November 2025 exclusively on Pluto TV.
J-One bought Conan in February 2015, and began broadcasting the episodes on TV in Japanese with French subtitles on the 6th of February, with [episode 761](/wiki/Kaga_Hyakumangoku_Mystery_Tour "Kaga Hyakumangoku Mystery Tour"). These episodes were offered on ADN's SVOD service at the same time, before being removed over time, following the broadcast in Japan.
In January 2024, ADN revealed that Detective Conan episodes would no longer be available for free on its platform and simulcast releases right after the original Japanese would only be available to "Premium" members[](#cite_note-1),[](#cite_note-2).
## Movies[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Conan_in_France&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Movies")]
In September 2018, French anime editor Blackbox announced the upcoming release of a Detective Conan box-set, complete with the twenty-two first movies and two TV Specials ([The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History](/wiki/The_Disappearance_of_Conan_Edogawa:_The_Worst_Two_Days_in_History "The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History") and [Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small](/wiki/Episode_One:_The_Great_Detective_Turned_Small "Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small")). Then, Blackbox gave up on the box set and announced each movie would get released individually, and justified that with a dub for the movies in the work. But in January 2019, it was actually revealed Blackbox never had any plans for a dub. Additionally, the movies' release got postponed a lot, until early 2020 where each movie finally got released, both on Blu-ray and DVD. In late November 2020, Blackbox came back on their decision and released two boxes, one with the eleven first movies and the first TV special, and one with movies 12 to 22 and the second TV special.
In February 2021, French anime movies distributor Eurozoom announced the upcoming release of [Movie 24](/wiki/The_Scarlet_Bullet "The Scarlet Bullet") in theaters when they'd reopen, making it the first movie of the franchise to get a theatrical release in France. It's also confirmed on the same day the movie is getting a french dub. The movie was first set on April 21, 2021, then was delayed to May 26, as the theaters were still closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During the same month, Eurozoom confirmed the return of the original anime voice actors of [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa"), [Shinichi](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo"), and [Ai](/wiki/Ai_Haibara "Ai Haibara"), and revealed the voice actor of [Shuichi](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai"). Several days later, a trailer with the french dub appears on X, confirming the return of [Ran](/wiki/Ran_Mouri "Ran Mouri")'s voice actress. In early May, the full cast is revealed, showing that every voice actor of the original anime series returns on this movie, except notably for [Takagi](/wiki/Wataru_Takagi "Wataru Takagi")'s voice actor Mathieu Moreau, who moved to France, and [Kogoro](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") and [Megure](/wiki/Juzo_Megure "Juzo Megure")'s voice actor Emmanuel Liénart (who had codirected the series' dub), as he passed away in 2015.
In December 2021, Eurozoom announced the release of [Movie 25](/wiki/The_Bride_of_Halloween "The Bride of Halloween") in France and Belgium for May 2022. In March of that year, they announced the return of the previous movie's cast, but also the return of Mathieu Moreau as Takagi, as well as Nathalie Hugo as [Sato](/wiki/Miwako_Sato "Miwako Sato"), having voiced them in the original series, although Nathalie Hugo had to step out of the dub due to agenda problems, and was replaced by local voice actress Magaly Texeira. They also announced [Rei Furuya](/wiki/Rei_Furuya "Rei Furuya")'s voice actor, Eric Legrand. The movie got a premiere on April 15, 2022 to coincide with its japanese release, and then a full release on May 18, 2022.
In December 2021, Netflix announces a french dub for [Zero's Tea Time](/wiki/Zero%27s_Tea_Time "Zero's Tea Time") and [The Culprit Hanzawa](/wiki/The_Culprit_Hanzawa "The Culprit Hanzawa") coming in 2022. In July 2022, they show a preview for Zéro Tea's Time, with Eric Legrand reprising his Rei Furuya role from movie 25, and a new voice actress for [Vermouth](/wiki/Vermouth "Vermouth").
On July 13, 2023, [The Story of Ai Haibara ~Black Iron Mystery Train~](/wiki/The_Story_of_Ai_Haibara_~Black_Iron_Mystery_Train~ "The Story of Ai Haibara ~Black Iron Mystery Train~") compilation movie was prescreened in France with French subtitles and later made available online[](#cite_note-3),[](#cite_note-4). As the previous movie did not do well in cinemas, the decision to broadcast movie 26 was met with uncertainty[](#cite_note-5). Movie 26 was announced via social media in February 2023[](#cite_note-6) and the subtitled version of [Movie 26: Black Iron Submarine](/wiki/Black_Iron_Submarine "Black Iron Submarine") was prescreened with subtitles on August 1st across main French cities[](#cite_note-7). The movie is officially released in cinemas the next day[](#cite_note-8), but the movie is removed after one week after making poor sales, less than the previous one[](#cite_note-9),[](#cite_note-10).
