Insights on sports
For its first original production, Témoin, the channel dedicated to crimes and scandals, which succeeds Moi et cie from April 9, is interested in victims of violence in sport with The other side of the coin, produced by Jean-François Poisson. The documentary series presented by Olympic freestyle ski medalist Jean-Luc Brassard highlights a toxic culture where attacks, both physical and psychological, are legion.
For its part, TVA offers an immersion within the Montreal Alouettes team. More specifically, viewers are invited, with The Alouettes. New flightlooking back at last season, when the team won the Gray Cup even though just a few weeks before the start of the championship, it had no owner… In addition, the docureality also gives pride of place to those and those who put on the show behind the scenes.

Fierce struggles
Who from Collin Strohbach, chef de cuisine at Lola 45, Emmanuelle Gignac-Brassard, rotating chef at La Tanière, and Yoann Van Den Berg, chef-owner of Les Mômes, will carve out a place in the brigade of Chefs ? The winner of this event hosted by Elyse Marquis will join twelve former participants, one per previous season, to The Chiefs ! The confrontation, 13e season of the famous cooking show. Throughout the competition, everyone will be able to benefit from the advice of coach Colombe St-Pierre (Chez Saint-Pierre and Cantine littoral), while they will be evaluated by Jean-Luc Boulay (Saint-Amour, Chez Boulay, Les Botanistes ), Isabelle Deschamps Plante (Isabelle and Ricardo’s cooking), Normand Laprise (Toqué!) and Pasquale Vari (ITHQ).
Also note the arrival of a new competition… cleaning! Sixteen competitors from all generations who are neat freaks will have to compete in creativity and cunning to come out on top during tests that are, to say the least, unexpected, judged by Isabelle De Palma (private concierge) and Louis-Philippe Talbot (executive director of accommodation at Ritz-Carlton Montreal). Let us emphasize that Wash to Win is the Quebec adaptation of the Danish production Master Cleaners and is presented by Stéphane Bellavance, who occasionally receives guests, such as Mélissa Bédard and Rita Baga, to provide the show.
For her part, Karine Vanasse is at the helm of another adaptation, Traitors. This reality game where opponents must demonstrate strategy, deception and lies to hope to win. In other words, around twenty guests (airplane pilot, Olympic athlete, ex-spy, lawyer, neuropsychologist, for example) meet in a mansion to “eliminate” their competitors and win a prize pool likely to reach the $100,000. However, be careful of the “traitors” who hide among them to sabotage the adventure…

But also on American platforms
After The Last of Us last year, a new video game was adapted into a series by Jonathan Nolan (Christopher’s brother). fallout therefore takes the public into a crazy postapocalyptic world where the most well-off discover a life far from the luxury of their fallout shelters.
Finally, Michael Douglas is Benjamin Franklin in the new Apple TV+ miniseries Franklin. The American actor appears alongside Théodore Pellerin (Watch dog) and Ludivine Sagnier (Eight women), but also Assaâd Bouab and Thibault de Montalembert (Call my agent).
