The rumor had been circulating for a while and it was confirmed a few days ago: the star Academy will reopen its doors! From next fall, twenty-two years after its launch and fourteen years after its shutdown, the most famous musical competition will indeed be back on TF1. “Most certainly in October, after the broadcast of The Voice Kids”, specified a technician who works on this project with the Parisian.
Our colleagues were also able to reveal that the new students will live together in the “emblematic place“what is the castle of Vives-Eaux in Dammarie-les-Lys (Seine-et-Marne), where the classes from 2001 to 2008 lived before them. Nikos Aliagas will also return to his role as host. Solid foundations that cannot be dispensed with depending on Jean-Pascal Lacoste, ex-candidate of season 1 in 2001 and father. “It is mandatory. It’s necessary. It is the mark of Star ac’. If there is not that, if there is not the castle, if there is not Nikos, it will not work“, he assured in TPMP Weekend Friday, May 6, 2022.
What role will he have?
Jenifer’s ex also spoke of his possible presence in this new event season. “We discuss it. It would be good. It’s off to a good start, nothing is done. But we talked…“, he explained. Without being able to advance too much, he evoked “a nice role within the castle“that he would have been offered.”A role of director, CPE, advising students, giving them a little experience…“
On his way, the agitator as he is nicknamed made another revelation. “I can even say that there will even be the phone minute! The famous moment. It’s a scoop!“, he let go. The most nostalgic will remember this tiny minute that the candidates had to call their loved ones. A very emotional moment with often a lot of tears when it was necessary to hang up.
One thing is certain in any case, Jean-Pascal Lacoste could not be happier to see the program that made him famous return to our screens. “They are coming back, finally! Finally, the star Academy come back !“, he rejoiced.
