Fans of Astrid and Raphael know this well: the detective series, led by Lola Dewere and Sarah Mortensen, is far from a fast-paced action series. If two heroes go into the field to solve an investigation, they rarely take risks.
And yet, during the filming of Season 5, which is currently airing on France 2, Raphael’s translator suffered a minor injury while filming the stunt.
Lola Deware was injured on the set of Season 5
Remember: In Season 5, Episode 2, available on the france.tv platform, Astrid and Raphael join forces with the French secret services and the CIA to capture the man who kidnapped the reptilian child, a ruthless killer.
In the final moments of the episode, Rafael runs down the stairs with the kidnapped child to protect him from the exchange of fire. An impressive stunt that Lola Devaer partially performed herself.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. “Julien Seri I thought I was Sabrina Ouzan!“- he explained to our colleagues with a laugh Recreational television. “I didn’t fall down the stairs, but I still picked up the baby and laid him on the mattress so that he was out of the frame of the camera. This is not an easy task.”
However, the actor was injured during this stunt. “My shoulder hurt a little and it lasted for six months. I rolled my shoulders a little. I had a real 7 year old in my arms and I had to fall down with him, it was a bit difficult.”
“The scene worked the first two times, but I got it wrong the third time. I absolutely wanted to do the stunt myself so people saw me out of frame, it’s my fault. It seemed to be believable in the image and I was left with the impression that it was completely grotesque“.

One thing’s for sure, this injury didn’t stop Lola Devaer from getting the most out of Astrid and Raphael in Season 5. You will also be able to find the new 5th episode of the detective series this Friday, November 29, from 21:05.
