Thursday February 17, 2022, our colleagues from Figaro made an announcement that no one expected. According to their information, the series More beautiful life will be discontinued very soon, after 17 years of existence. This decision would have been taken by the production and the channel after a substantial drop in audience. Not to mention the fact that the series has, in recent years, strong competitors on TF1 and France 2 with tomorrow belongs to us and such a big sun.
But now, a few hours after these revelations, the management of France Télévisions spoke to the Parisian. According to him, the end of the series would not actually be final: “Our contract with Newen [qui produit le feuilleton, ndlr] ends on December 31, 2022. After this date, the end of More beautiful life, whose ratings are declining, is a possibility. But it is not the only one. We simply reopened the discussions, like two years ago.“
This response is however a way to calm the agitation around the announcement according to Sara Mortensen. The actress who interpreted the character of Coralie Blain for seven years before being suddenly dismissed from the show, confided in trusting the information of the Figaro. “There are people who say it’s a false rumor but I tell myself that if the Figaro announces something so clear, clean and precise, there is material“, she estimated with Entertainment TV.
Sara Mortensen is in any case far from happy with the possible end of the emblematic fiction. “If that’s true, it breaks my heart. More beautiful life, it’s seven years of my life. It’s a shock to tell me that there are so many technicians who will remain on the floor. More beautiful life, it’s a city within the city, it’s a war machine. My first reaction was therefore instinctively sadness. Even though I was made to turn the page of More beautiful life three years ago, there, I completely close the book. It’s a shock!“, she repeated.
