Bad news for fans of Julie de Bona and more particularly of the series “The School of Life”. Fiction broadcast on France 2 in which the 42-year-old actress plays the role of Alexandra Delage. A high school teacher who teaches French and provides a theater workshop. This Thursday, June 22, Anne Holmes, director of fiction and programs at France Televisionstook stock of a “exceptional season” for public service in an interview with Parisian. But “The School of Life” unfortunately not affected…
Indeed, as pointed out Puremediathe second season of the series with the actress who plays in “Plan B” gathered only 2.47 million followers on average in March 2023. This represents 12.6% of the public and only 5.8% of the FRDA-50. To understand the “disappointing figures”, we must base ourselves on the average of the public channel which is 15.3% in March as our colleagues remind us. Additionally, Season 2 reportedly saw a drop of 570,000 viewers from the first season.

Julie de Bona, not the only one affected by deprogramming
“Young people do not recognize themselves in our school series, and the older ones are not interested in them”justified Anne Holmes who took the opportunity to announce the end of the series “The code”also after two seasons.
But Julie de Bona and “The School of Life” are not the only ones to bear the brunt of this drop in audience. “The Crimson Rivers“also signs its end after four seasons. “It’s about renewing our brands. Sometimes you can’t replace the main actor of a series”, confided the director of fiction and programs of France Télévisions, referring to the busy schedule of Olivier Marchal. However, still according to Puremédias, unofficially, it would be the September 2022 hearings that would have disappointed and led to the end of the fiction.
