Assassination of a mafioso with a bomb, corpse cast in cement and burial of a body on a construction site belonging to the Fournier-Costa family, things are stirring as much in Valmont as in the kitchen of Clothilde (Frédérike Bédard).
Posted at 7:15 a.m.
And crime will further plague the city in the next season of 5and rank, says the co-author of the popular Radio-Canada soap opera, Sylvie Lussier, on the phone. A network of juvenile prostitution will worry the police, a character will die in an acid bath, Marie-Christine (Julie Beauchemin) will date Pascal Faubert (Antoine Durand), a pivotal couple will divorce and the war between the two mafia clans will escalate like never before.
Moreover, to form all these ripoux, the SQ of Valmont will welcome a new sergeant-detective, Isabelle Perreault, that will camp Lynda Johnson. Yes, yes, the famous Maryse of 4 and a half screenwriters from 5and rank, Sylvie Lussier and Pierre Poirier. Competitive Sophie (Julie Du Page) will hate her at first sight.
Now, rest assured: the good Jean-Michel (Frédéric Millaire Zouvi) did not perish after his ride with Lucas (Louis-David Morasse). He is an overpaying character and too loved by fans of the series. “But Jean-Michel will come back quite badly. We will also discover unknown parts of his past, ”notes author Sylvie Lussier.

The creators of 5and rank had to fight for more eccentric characters like Jean-Michel, Francine (Muriel Dutil) or Gladys (Julie Roussel) to exist. “The broadcasters are very cautious with this type of more outrageous character. They are afraid of caricature, but we did well to defend our point of view, ”says Sylvie Lussier.
For an agricriminal series like 5and rank breathe, he needs bursts of humor and humanity. The old clumsy Francine (and her bluish make-up) provides us with a slew of them, just like Gladys the nosy and the simpleton sympathetic to Jean-Michel.
As Tuesday night’s finale demonstrated, Marie-Jeanne (Catherine Renaud) has crossed the “red line” between cannabis cultivation and murder. She will continue her rise in organized crime alongside Tina (Brigitte Poupart) and Lucas. “And we will continue to show his personal life. Marie-Jeanne is part of the Goulet family. She is still a sister, an aunt and a lover, ”explains Sylvie Lussier.
Moreover, the (new) rapprochements between Marie-Jeanne and Fred (Maxim Gaudette) will put the cop in trouble. And even in prison, the psychopath Marc Trempe (Marc Béland) who, let’s remember, cut up his sister and wanted to stuff his ex-girlfriend, will continue to manipulate the very naive Marie-Paule (Ève Duranceau), the Frida Kahlo of the poor. .
As for Mireille (Geneviève Brouillette), her Carré vert will be transformed into a meeting place for the mafiosos of Valmont. The building that houses the restaurant belongs to Lucas, who will hold his meetings there. There is also chef Pascal Faubert who wants to open a chic establishment and a cheese factory in the area. Bisbille on the menu, friends.
