After three weeks on the air, Season 1 of Fortune de France will conclude this Monday, September 30, with the airing of its final two episodes. This historical saga, directed by Nicolas Duvachel and Guillaume Guy, follows the fortunes of the Siorac family as it is torn apart by the Wars of Religion.
Surrounded by a dangerous, hostile and intolerant world, behind the walls of the Chateau de Mespech, he fights for his survival and his faith. There are community life, masters and servants, parents and children, epidemics, adversaries, battles and mourning, science and superstitions and love stories.
Will there be 2 seasons?
As of now, France 2 has not officially ordered Season 2 for Fortune de France. The channel is probably waiting for the audience to decide for the first round of these episodes.
The Christopher Thompson-created fiction averaged 2.33 million viewers on its first night of broadcast. This figure drops for the second night as only 1.88 million viewers were in front of their screens last Monday.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether these numbers will convince France 2 to offer a second season of Fortune de France.
Season 2 is in preparation
One thing is for sure, with 13 volumes published between 1977 and 2003, Christopher Thompson has what it takes to continue the adventures of the Siorak family. At a press conference organized by France 2 last July, the producers revealed that they were already working on writing a second season.
“At the end of the first season, we have two teenagers to study. There are those who are expelled and others who are going to study in Montpellier, which allows us to move into this world.”
“We’re getting to St. Bartholomew’s Day in Volume 2 of Fortune de France, so we can already envision five or six seasons of additional opportunity. But for now we are moving forward one step at a time. We can already see the public’s reaction to the first season.” Continued…
Catch the last two episodes of the first season of Fortune de France this Monday, September 30, from 21:10 on France 2. Episodes are available in full on the France.tv platform.
