The Intern at France 3: Will there be an 8th season?

The adventures of Constance Meyer and Judge Boris Delcourt still have a bright future on France 3.

The unreleased season 7 of La Stagiaire, which launched just two weeks ago, is already wrapping up tonight with the airing of the final two episodes, titled “Black Widow” and “Present Tense.”

Reduced to just six episodes, compared to eight in seasons 3 to 6, this seventh installment isn’t far off in terms of viewership, as La Stagiaire averaged 4.88 million on its first night of airing on September 27. viewers, or 24.8% of the public. Far ahead of Mask Singer and his 2.79 million followers on TF1.

Excellent scores that manage to surpass the start of Season 6 in 2021 (4.59 million viewers) and which was confirmed last Tuesday in Week 2, even if the legal series posted a slight drop, gathering “only” 4.54 million viewers a person Prequel to Season 7 Episodes 3 and 4.

In front of this very good audience, which allowed him to lead two Tuesdays in a row, France 3 would be wrong to deprive Michel Bernier. And luckily for fans, that apparently isn’t planned, as The Intern is guaranteed to return for Season 8…which has already been filmed!

Indeed, Michel Bernier, Antoine Hamel, Philippe Lelievre, Nicolas Marie and the entire team of the successful series met last April in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region (La Stagiaire is filmed between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence) box six new investigations.

The filming of the eighth season ended on July 8, as evidenced by a video published by Michel Bernier on his Instagram. And these six new episodes should logically be released on France 3 in 2023.

“He’s going to come back, but we don’t have to say that! I’ll still be less than usual in the last episodes of season eight because I’ve had really bad Covid, which forced me to stop filming La Stagiaire and the movie. One with my friend Albert Dupontel (second tour for the movie , editor’s note)”.

And since good news never comes alone, fans of the series will also be happy to know that Season 9 is just around the corner!

“Season 8 has already been filmed and Season 9 is being written”Anne Holmes, Director of Programs and Director of Fiction at France Télévisions, told us recently during a keynote interview devoted to the many fictions of France 2 and France 3.

Therefore, the network is not even waiting for auditions to renew La Stagiaire. Which proves the success of the series, which continues to be a hit on France 3, like most of the channel’s detective stories, such as Alex Hugo or the collection “Meurtres à…”.
