Family atmosphere on France 2: Are there plans for more episodes?

After Captain Marlowe, César Wagner or Astrid and Raphael, does France 2 hold a new detective series with flair de famille?

Directed by Didier Bivel, the new TV movie Family Flair, broadcast this Saturday, April 8 at 9:10 p.m. on France 2, stars Samuel Labarte (Agatha Christie’s Little Murders) and Sylvie Testud (The Fugitive) in François and Caroline Cannes. Flament, brother and sister heirs to a police dynasty who form an atypical duo of investigators with complementary but often conflicting methods.

Transferred to her hometown, she is a pro-life speaker who finds it difficult to escape the BAC spirit and methods of 9-3. He, a police commissioner who is very popular in his region and has lived alone since his wife’s death, is a “false Nelly” who has no equal in deciphering men thanks to his passion and knowledge of animals.

Rat of the cities, rat of the field, they are irreconcilable, as united as two fingers of a hand, yet during the investigation they repeat their fraternal quarrels, which reflect the wounds in each soul that have never healed.

The episode is being considered as a series pilot

This telefilm, which also stars Oscar Cope (The Promise) and Anne Giroux (Camelot), was presented by France 2 as a unitary declarant. That is, it acts as a pilot for a possible series, and that other 90-minute episodes could see the light of day if successful.

Information confirmed to us a few months ago by France Télévisions Director of Programs and Director of Fiction Anne Holmes in a lengthy interview when Flair de famille still had the working title “Les François”: “Le Francois is the new driver with Samuel Labarte and Sylvie Testude as siblings. Great”.

Therefore, this distorting entity seems to have convinced the authority of France Télévisions fiction. And Samuel Labarte seems ready for more episodes that will explore more of Francois and Caroline’s family history.

“The TV movie should have been called Les François, a large family of policemen from father to son, from the Hauts-de-France region”He confided to Télé 7 Jours about Flair de famille. “Their story will certainly develop later if there is a sequel”.

So the audience reached by this new TV movie tonight will be crucial. But everything suggests that, if successful, we will soon see this atypical police duo, played by Sylvie Testud and Samuel Labarty, on the air.
