The Parisian was able to provide himself with some details on what awaits fans of the first hour of the star Academy. To begin with, the adventure should no longer last up to seventeen weeks as in the past. “It will certainly be around ten to twelve weeks“, estimated an employee of TF1. What is more, the question of a daily newspaper is still under discussion. Because the grid of the One being full, it will be difficult to fit a moment to share what the academicians live. A summary of the day “only composed of images“ could then be implemented.
In addition, the production would have chosen to make its big comeback in a “emblematic place“, namely the castle of Vives-Eaux of Dammarie-les-Lys (Seine-et-Marne), where the candidates from 2001 to 2008 lived. Some renovations have however been made there since the business manager Jean- Michel Pontet bought the premises in 2008.”The former candidates’ bedroom will become a bridal suite with an unobstructed view of the Seine“, for example, he said in 2021 during an interview for TVMag. He also announced that he wanted to keep the recording studio and recreate the theater hall.

Nikos Aliagas will present the program. “It is a guarantee of security. Nikos knows the show, he has easy contact with French and international artists, he knows how to manage the unexpected…“, we reacted to The Parisian. Unlike the facilitator, the teams of the Star Ac’ are being revamped at the teacher level. Exit Kamel Ouali, Armande Altaï or even Oscar Sisto and room for new personalities. The production even hopes “land some celebritiesin particular for stage expression lessons“He is also a great entertainer who is wanted to lead the school.”Someone in Mika’s line : popular, credible and who likes to transmit“, we quote.
Finally, what about the sponsor of the season? After Elton John, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Celine Dion or Rihanna in this role, we will have to rise to the occasion. Which might be complicated. “Good luck to them to welcome Rihanna, Madonna or Beyoncé this time“, slips a skeptical programmer. And for good reason, as recalled The Parisian, “budgets have been significantly reduced and bringing in an international artist has become very complex“. A world star is still considered, in the same way as French artists. The singer Jenifer is particularly at the heart of the reflections, she who won the very first season of the show.
