More beautiful life, It’s finish. The famous soap opera of France 3 will end next fall. The grand finale will thus be broadcast in November and will bring together a number of emblematic characters from the Mistral, such as Dounia Coesens and Alexandre Fabre. After that, nothing! Or almost. Through a press release, Delphine Ernotte, president of France Télévisions, reveals what will be replaced by the successful series.
Instead of More beautiful life, viewers will have a very different program since management has made the decision to broadcast sports! “From January 2023, the most strategic crossroads, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on France 3 and on the box previously occupied by More beautiful lifewill be dedicated to the Games every day thanks to a dedicated program“, says Delphine Ernotte, referring to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
After the Olympic Games, “a lot of tracks” at France 3…
Other information about this change has been revealed, such as the name of the journalist who will be in charge of the program. This is Carole Gaessler who “will bring the French as close as possible to the ambitions and the sporting, economic, technological and cultural challenges“of the Olympics. Something to delight Delphine Ernotte, as she says herself: “The decision to make the Games a priority for 18 months gives us more time to prepare a very good programme. There are plenty of ideas. This is the most strategic crossroads, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.“
The broadcast of the Olympic and Paralympic Games will only last for a time. And it will be necessary, at some point, to find a real replacement for More beautiful life. The France 3 teams are already working on the sequel. “We have already started thinking for several months. We have a lot of hypotheses and a lot of leads“, indicates Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, the program director of France Télévisions. It remains to be seen whether the channel wishes to offer a soap opera in the same style or try another completely different program. To be continued…
