Sad end clap… In recent months already, the series Josephine guardian angel was confined to reruns. The last unpublished episode, broadcast in prime-time on TF1, dating from December 26, 2022. Has the channel decided to put a definitive end to this popular soap opera showing the incredible adventures lived and embodied by the actress Mimie Mathy? In any case, this is what Clément Guarin says on social networks, this Saturday, July 22, 2023. According to our colleague, the end of this fiction would be scheduled for 2024, with a final episode in the works. According to him : “Anne Didier, the new director of fiction at TF1, recently met with DEMD to discuss the future of Joséphine guardian angel. TF1 wishing to evolve towards new creations and thus free up its Monday and Thursday slots as much as possible, the end of (the series) is inevitable.” And to add for precision, that Anne Didier will succeed Anne Viau next September with the mission of continuing the renewal of the fictions of the channel.
“A benevolence towards all differences”
As a reminder, the series has been broadcast since 1997 and has become, in 25 years, a real phenomenon shared in all French-speaking countries. And as with her now legendary snap of the finger, the actress Mimie Mathy was delighted with this enormous success, not so long ago: “I wanted to be a character who does good. I think it’s great that Joséphine, with her difference that we never mention, has perhaps succeeded in developing a benevolence towards all differences, whatever they may be”. confided the actress to Europe 1, December 26, 2022.
Info: End clap for #JoséphineAngeGardien. After twenty-seven years of broadcasting, the series carried by @MimieMathyOff will bow out in 2024, after 105 episodes. DEMD has just started writing the final episode. More info on cg.scoops. pic.twitter.com/4VTYdzFijm

“Camping Paradis” takes over!
Unfortunately, the series ran out of steam, unlike Camping Paradise which is experiencing a second life with its summer broadcast. And will surely join the fictions that TF1 has already eliminated from its schedule likeAlice Nevers, Profiling And Research section. Coup de grace, from next Monday July 24, TF1 will stop programming old episodes of Josephine, guardian angel afternoon to replace them with another of its historic brands, Camping Paradise. It is therefore an end clap for the wife of Benoist Gérard, even if the 66-year-old actress has announced that new episodes were in preparation. We’re crossing our fingers that your wishes come true!
