Clem on TF1: Will it be the 13th season?

Just three weeks after the broadcast, TF1 viewers tonight discover the last two episodes of Clemes’ 12th season, which sees things get complicated for Valentine (Thomas Chomel), Iris revenge victim (Helena Noguera), and Clem. Matthews couple who may not have survived the ordeal they are experiencing. If …

And if fans can’t wait to figure out what season writers are preparing for the end of Lucy Lucas, Augustine Galiana and their partners, they also want to find out if their favorite series will return next year. New episodes.

For them, unfortunately, the fate of Clem is not yet clear. The channel that contacted us replied that it had no information about the rest of the series at this time. And a series, if not the 13th season.

Everything suggests that, as is often the case, TF1 is waiting for an audience report for the six episodes of Season 12 to make a firm and final decision. A logical observation, but not reassuring, when you know that Clem’s audience has shrunk dramatically this year.

After the frustrating 10th season of 2020, an average of just 2.81 million viewers awaited the audience in its six episodes, with a market share of 13.2% for people aged 4 and over and 21.5% for target purchasing managers of women under 50. (FRDA-50), a series hosted by Lucy Lucas, boosted momentum last year.

Indeed, Season 11 managed to gather an average of 3.45 million subscribers in the spring of 2021 and offered TF1 a 24.8% audience share in the FRDA-50’s privileged target, formerly known as the “Housewives Under 50”. But the ascent was only brief.

On Monday, March 28, Clem’s 12th season kicked off in front of just 2.41 million fans (12.7% of the public and 21.1% of the FRDA-50). And last week, the TF1 series ended with L’île aux 30 coffins beyond France 2 and Married at first glance on the M6, bringing together 2.40 million viewers, with an audience share of only 18.4% of the women responsible for purchases under 50. .

A low score on this indicator for a channel like TF1, which has recently ended several long series like Alice Nevers or Profiling as they have fallen below the 20% mark.

However, the channel congratulated itself on social media on the “success” of the first episodes of the 12th season in the consolidated audience on D + 7, as the first episode of March 28 gained 765,000 viewers in one week, and the second, “Surprise: Guest”, managed to reach 27% of the audience. Climb to a commercial target.

Will this powerful replay, and still good scores for a young audience, allow Clem to return in Season 13? Or will the series end after twelve years of existence?

In any case, we can hope that in case of cancellation TF1 offers the real end of the series, in the form of the final TV movie, as is the case with the research section. Due to the fact that the last episode of the 12th season, which will air tonight, is by no means a satisfactory conclusion for a series that has been going on for so many years.
