En Famille on M6: First word on the next bonus shot at Reunion

Just days after the end of Season 12, En Famille returns on Thursday 7 September at 9.10pm on M6 with a special bonus episode called ‘The Castle Inheritance’, which follows the marriage of Marjorie and Jean. -Pierre, or Holiday in Brittany, this time focuses on the suspicious past of Brigitte (Marie Vincent).

Indeed, to everyone’s surprise, he inherits the castle after the death of his mother, Baroness Irene de Chanterac, an aristocrat whose existence the whole family was unaware of until then. Why did Bridget spend her whole life denying this past? And how will he react when he sets foot again at La Renardière, the vast estate where he grew up and which he now inherits with his half-sister, the very high-class Eleanor de Chanterac?

“We talk a lot about Jacques’ Breton background in En Famille, but we’ve never explored Bridget’s past, who is still a colorful character.”Confides Benjamin Guedj, successful M6 series director about the new bonuses this evening.

“Bridget is a punk grandmother who doesn’t want to be a grandmother, who stays younger than the young, who has extraordinary sexual freedom, freedom of thought and speech. And I realized that her vision of work – because for her work is. Vulgar – was a bit like a form of aristocracy. So I said to myself that it would be quite funny if we discovered that this woman who claims to be of the people is actually more family than bourgeois..

Obviously, who says the Le Kervelec family means a good dose of comedy and craziness on offer. And the weekend organized by Brigitte’s legacy at La Renardière will be no exception.

“I enjoyed the Le Kervelecs, who are a bit of a crazy family, in a castle and in an environment that is not theirs”Benjamin Guedj continues at our microphone. “Bridget’s legacy will go to their head a little bit. Marjorie’s character, for example, tells herself that she could have had a different life. She says this sentence that makes me laugh so much: ‘I should have played tennis with Prince William and karaoked with Stephanie of Monaco. And instead I’m with Jean-Pierre Escurus..

A bonus focused on Jacques, soon to be filmed in Reunion

In 2022, Jeanne Savary and Olivier Mag, aka Marjorie and Jean-Pierre, told us that another special bonus, this time set in Reunion, was also in the works for filming scheduled for early 2023.

“It’s a nice present. We’re going to shoot on Reunion Island for a month. But we don’t know the grounds very well.”– Olivier Magma told us with humor. “It changes a lot. Sometimes it’s commando games, sometimes we’re involved in the war on drugs. Other times we’re just going camping. It’s too broad (laughs). It’s between Traffic and Camping 2! They’re not very good (laughs).”.

Obviously delayed by a year, this new En Famille bonus has not been forgotten as it is currently being written and is due to be filmed this winter in Reunion. And according to the first revelations from Yves Pinho and Benjamin Guede, it will be about Jacques and his youth in preparation for the reunion in this new 2×45 minutes.

“I was told there would be a plot around Jacques this time, I understand, because the legacy revolves around Bridget.”Yves Pinault teased us during the Monte Carlo TV Festival last June, before Benjamin Guede tells us a little more on the pitch.

We discover part of the lives of Jacques and Brigitte, who lived for several years in Reunion, where Jacques did construction work. Basically, it would be the story of Jacques, who decides to take his family to the places of his youth. with Bridget and especially where they wanted to create a large family”.

A new En Famille bonus to be filmed “This winter, when the weather in Reunion is very nice and very warm, and it’s nice to shoot without storms”No further details at this stage.
