Launched on April 24th, BRI, Canal+’s new thriller, managed to create quite a stir very quickly. The fiction created by Jérémie Guez (The Night Swallows the World) and Erwan Augoyard (Gears) has indeed recorded the best audience for an original work in 4 years, accumulating more than 12 million views since its release, according to a press release. Launching an encrypted channel.
Comprised of 8 episodes, BRI follows the adventures of the Versailles BRI, a historical unit specializing in organized crime. Said (Sofian Khames) leads a team of young elite police officers, both reckless and efficient.
A former member of the special forces replaces Patrick (Bruno Todeschini), a charismatic leader who built his police legend during 20 years with Eric, the leader of the Paris underworld clan. Said will have to find his place in his group while avoiding a gang war between Eric’s family and the El Hassan brothers.
Ordered season 2
During the broadcast of BRI’s explosive finale on May 15, Canal+ failed to communicate the future of the series, even if the channel assured that the artistic team was already working on the second season.
While promoting the series, Jeremy Guez told our colleagues from France Info that he hoped to make a second season but was waiting for the approval of Canal +. “Anyway, I really want to and I have more to say…“.
And in the face of the success of the series, the channel did not want the suspension to go any longer. It was during the presentation conference of its upcoming programs, which took place on Monday, June 26, that Canal+ confirmed that BRI would return for a second season.
No information on the synopsis or cast of these new episodes has been released at this time, but there is a good chance that the cast of the first season will be in attendance.
