7.2 million viewers in 2020! Alone Captain Marleau did better in the series category that year. Balthazar returns Thursday, March 10 on TF1 for a fourth season, while filming for the fifth will start next week.
And it won’t be the last, contrary to what his hero Tomer Sisley had suggested: “I was talking about the latest! I corrected it right away. We don’t know when it’s going to stop. Of course, one day there will be an end and if possible before people get tired. But for the moment, I don’t want to let go at all BalthazarI’m having too much fun shooting this!”confides the actor.
In this fiction, he plays Raphaël Balthazar, a brilliant and whimsical but immature and tortured medical examiner. After the departure of her partner interpreted by Hélène de Fougerolles, it is Constance Labbé who takes up the torch in the role of Captain Coste.
“The whole point was that we could renew ourselves. Above all, I didn’t want this fourth season to look like the previous three.”

“Obviously we keep the same character, the same DNA, it remains a detective series. But we needed a new dynamic, with new characters to create new situations. Constance Labbé is extraordinary. passed her tests, like all the actresses who were finalists. She stood out, she has the rhythm of comedy.” comments Tomer Sisley.
Once again, Tomer Sisley has some breathtaking stunts in store for us, which he performs himself, without dubbing. Like this sequence where he finds himself piloting a bi-plane from which he has to jump: “It’s a waterfall that you see in The Ace of Aces. One of the few that Jean-Paul Belmondo did not do, he was overtaken because he was not doing a free fall. I do. So I had this little pleasure. But I will never be stronger than Belmondo!” concludes Tomer Sisley.
