Vertige is a six-episode Canadian television miniseries, which aired on Séries+ in 2012. Written by Michelle Allen and directed by Patrice Sauvé, the series centres on the friends and family of Daphnée Roussel (Fanny Mallette), a woman who has been in a coma since falling off the roof of the family business three months earlier.[1] The series was produced by Pixcom.[2]

The cast includes Noémie Godin-Vigneau as her friend Jennifer, who wonders if the fall was a suicide attempt; Normand Daneau as her brother Adrien, who wants to take her off life support; Germain Houde and Monique Spaziani as her parents Gilles and Diana, who own the building but are being pressured by Adrien to sell it; Marilyn Castonguay as her sister Maya, who begins to suspect Adrien of having attempted to murder Daphnée; and Patrick Hivon as Daphnée's boyfriend Laurent, who also appears to have had potential motives to kill her.[1]

The series received 13 Prix Gémeaux nominations in 2012.[3] It won eight awards, for Best Direction in a Drama Series, Best Writing in a Drama Series, Best Editing in a Drama Series, Best Sound in a Drama Series, Best Original Music in a Drama Series, Best Theme Song, Best Costume Design and Best Hair and Make-Up.[4]

Following its run on Séries+, the series was rebroadcast on TVA in 2014,[5] and was added to Netflix in 2018.[6]
