TOMORROW BELONGS TO US Explosive returns with its best disaster plot since its launch!

The producers and writers of Tomorrow Belong to Us have decided to hit hard with the beginning of the school year and offer two disastrous episodes that will be remembered by fans of the series for a long time.

After the bus crash that started what has become an annual tradition in November 2018, the mass fire, the intrigue of the cave captives, the hostage taking on the spoon and the plane crash on the beach. Last January in Sete, there was a devastating explosion at Agnes Varda High School.

Between episodes broadcast this Wednesday 6 and this Thursday 7 September on TF1, this drama will clearly disrupt the lives of many of the main characters of Tomorrow’s Us, from Chloe, the director of shock camped by Ingrid Chauvin, to Françoise (Emmanuel Moir), who will pass Jack ( Dimitri Fouquet), Dorian (Ryan Huber) or even Mariana (Luce Muschel), who came to intervene with the students and was unlucky enough to be in the facility during the explosion.

And if the daily soap opera, helmed by Nicolas Brossette, is not in its first breakout storyline, these two shocking episodes that will have a lasting impact on the series feel like tomorrow is ours. Best in terms of disaster and suspension. , striking an unstoppable balance between great spectacle and emotion.

Special tools that really show up on the screen

In line with the plane crash, which took four weeks of preparation for the design of the plane that would be destroyed and five days of intense shooting on the beach, this explosion, which occurs in the first minutes of the episode of tonight’s show. on TF1, forcing the teams at Newen, which produces Tomorrow Belongs to Us, to think big to offer the series’ faithful a real show.

After this drama – whether by accident or on purpose, the cops at the police station have to find out – the structure and roof of the school starts collapsing, creating panic in the school.

While some characters, such as Chloe, helplessly watch this disaster from the courtyard of the facility, others, such as Francois, Charlie (Clémence Lasalles), Jack, Liz (Juliette Mabilat) and Marianne, are prisoners trapped under the rubble. from dilapidated classrooms.

Obviously, whoever says exceptional plot, says special conditions. While soap opera teams typically shoot the equivalent of one episode per day (crossing storylines by series and set), only these two episodes needed to be shot over a two-week period. and months of preparation beforehand by props or special effects managers.

“We shot continuously, scene by scene, which is unusual for us, but it helped build the tension.”Explained to us by Clemens Lassalas, who attributes his qualities to Charlie Molina.

“We started with the first explosion scenes outside and then focused on the scenes inside the school. My scenes with Emmanuel Moir were shot over a day or two in a row, and the same for the second grade, with Mariana. Jack and Liz. It lasted about two weeks.”.

From the explosion, this new disaster ark manages to capture us with its completely destroyed high school, stunts and special effects (special mention of Chloe, who was projected several meters when the structure collapsed), and her life situations. death.

Unlike many series, the cast of Tomorrow’s Us was not shot on green screen for the purposes of these two episodes. Special effects were actually added to the explosions, and the actors, who were filmed on high school sets, were transformed into a battlefield, strewn with rocks (real and fake Styrofoam) and dust cannons.

“It was crazy because I was used to seeing high school normalcy”says Clemens Lassalas, who has already experienced the arc of disaster in 2021 during the hostage-taking.

“And there, when we got to the set, we found that they had destroyed everything a little bit. It helped to put me in the situation, it was a little disturbing. There were rocks everywhere, fake rocks, real rocks. Dust. , rubble. When we found out, we were a little shocked, but It helped put us in the mood.”.

With these two visually stunning episodes that will mark milestones in its history, Tomorrow Belongs has undoubtedly succeeded in bringing it back and kicking off its 7th season.

However, it is impossible to know the budget for these two special episodes, even if Théophile Clement, who takes over from Od Thévenin as artistic director of the series, admits to Télé Loisirs:

“It’s a lot of money, but you see. We spent what it took to make it work and believe in it.”. A successful bet because the facilities used are actually visible on the screen, ensuring a great show on every floor.

Get your tissues ready, tomorrow is ours, we will make you cry

For five years, every disaster plot of tomorrow that belongs to us has offered its share of spectacle. Like the sudden bus crash that turned Clementine and Jessica’s life upside down, the depressing fire that destroyed the Belanger farm, or the accident that pushed the daily soap’s limits on time and budget. The limitations that come with producing an episode a day at a breakneck pace.

The explosion of Agnès Varda’s high school, its pyrotechnic effects, falling rocks and chaos after the explosion only reinforces this, offering the most spectacular disaster in the history of soap operas directed by Ingrid Chauvin.

But above all, these episodes may stand out as what we have done tomorrow, thanks to the strong emotion they generate and the constant tension that accompanies the ordeal that Francois or Lizzie will go through tonight.

Where the hostage-taking resulted in the death of Ulysses, a beloved but insignificant character in the world of the series, and where Sarah and Jack were seriously injured in the accident, so that we did not fear for their lives until now, the explosion that appears Agnès Varda manages to create real concern.

and plunging Françoise, Charlie, Marianne and other characters into the most dramatic situations, which, no matter what happens, will have a strong impact on the rest of the series.

Will some of the heroes in tomorrow’s episode die? You’ll have to be there tonight at 7.10pm on TF1 to find out. One thing is for sure: the fans are certainly not ready for what awaits them, especially as the actors and actresses deliver breathtaking performances.

A special mention to Cléments Lasalles and Emmanuel Moir, who were carried through the ordeal that afflicts their characters, to Juliet Mabilat, whose character of Liz is fully revealed, and to Charlotte Gacchio, Honorine Magnier or Sasha Bird, who have reached us, touch the heart of the other. on the side of the school gates, while Audrey, Benedict, Ryan and many others desperately wait for news from their loved ones and imagine the worst.

As for the final sequence of tonight’s episode, featuring Francois, Charlie and Adam (Alain Le Bars) in particular, it may be one of the most exciting and sad moments in Tomorrow’s seven-year adventure. And it only makes sense that viewers stock up on tissues. Nothing will be the same in Seth after that.
