TV season | TV aspirations of 2023

Eat more rapini, celery and broccoli? Nah. Finally run that half-marathon and brag about it for six months on Instagram? Neither. Going through a month of January without alcohol? Too late. New Year’s promises rarely last longer than Jonathan Chouinard’s (Alexis Lemay-Plamondon) drain in STAT. Here is what to aspire to in front of our televisions during the winter months. It puts less pressure than a resolution, let’s say.

Listen to his voice

Exit Star Academy and its endless bawling, here it is again The voiceits red armchairs, host Charles Lafortune, three new coaches (Marjo, Corneille and Mario Pelchat) as well as the indelible Marc Dupré. The real winners of The voice do not necessarily win the grand final – whether we think of Charlotte Cardin, Lou-Adriane Cassidy, Matt Holubowski, Alicia Moffet or Dominique Fils-Aimé. The TVA tele-hook starts again on Sunday, January 15 at 7 p.m.

Put your heart into it

Author Danielle Trottier releases her favorite character from All the lifeChristophe L’Allier (Roy Dupuis), and screws him into the center of the new soap opera With beating heart de Radio-Canada, which takes off on Tuesday, January 10 at 8 p.m. If you embarked on All the lifeyou will find the same intensity in With beating heartwhich goes back to the source of male (and toxic) violence.

Build strong alliances

After the Cool Kids, the Pennes, the Comic Guys and the Five-Eyes, which secret faction will pull the strategic strings of Big Brother Celebrities on Noovo? The host Marie-Mai, who will surely amaze us with flamboyant new outfits, opens the doors of the huge house-studio on Sunday, January 8 at 6:30 p.m.

Let go of the big drama

The television winter promises to be funnier than the fall, which was marked by a succession of tough and draining drama series. On Noovo, there will be The Brotherhood 2 and Counter offer 3. At Radio-Canada, make way for eye of the storm 2, walk-in 2 and guys 3. On the side of TVA, it will be possible to view happiness 2 and Leo 4. These comedies all debut the week of January 9. Adjust your recorders accordingly.

Prepare your handkerchiefs

One of last winter’s lovely surprises is back on the schedule for its second season: The red wristbands. On the menu ? A difficult camping trip for the merry band of bracelets, a difficult awakening for Albert (Malick Babin), a new roommate for Félix (Anthony Therrien) and Antoine L’Écuyer who replaces Noah Parker in the role of Justin. The Hôpital de la Rive reopens its doors on Tuesday, January 10 at 8 p.m. on TVA.

Bet on aces

After speed skating, Noovo takes on the world of professional tennis in the series Turn – Double Fault, who throws his first pitch on Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. Éric Bruneau will put on the sneakers of Charles Rivard, a flamboyant player of the Simon Larose type stuck at 187^e world rank. Anxious, broken, party animal and on the verge of retirement, will Charles reconnect with success in contact with his former coach Sylvain Carrier (Louis Morissette), who has just been dropped by one of the best rackets on the circuit? Quiet Please. The game resumes.

sing along

Intense promotion around the return of Véronique Cloutier at the helm of a type variety show Fury. This new Quebec concept, which will pit four generations against Radio-Canada, is called Zenith and will go live Thursdays at 8 p.m. starting January 19. Around Véro, we will find four captains, Claudia Bouvette (the Z), Félix-Antoine Tremblay (the Y), Élyse Marquis (the X) and Normand Brathwaite (the Boomers). Make way for the war of camps – and clans – musical.

Dare the danger

At the last minute, TVA moved from January 15 to February 19 the broadcast of the first episode of Get me out of here!a reality show where 10 celebrities (including Nathalie Simard, Colette Provencher and Jean-François Mercier) land in the Costa Rican jungle and play games à la Fort Boyard to enhance their dinner. TVA thus hopes to eclipse the Quebec version of Survivorwhich Noovo will put into orbit later in the spring with Patrice Bélanger who will notify us when the tribe has spoken.

Salute the police

Radio-Canada is adding two beefy detective series to its offering, namely larry (Tuesday, January 10 at 9 p.m.) and Reasonable doubt 2 (Monday, January 9 at 9 p.m.). The first stars Benoît Gouin and the second, Julie Perreault. The first sneaks into street gangs and the second tackles sex crimes. Code red on the program!

Prepare the table

Télé-Québec launches Chef Oli goes rural Thursday, January 12 at 9 p.m. On the slate, self-taught chef Olivier Louissaint, 31, is beginning to create his own country table, a risky project fraught with several obstacles. Should you buy a farmhouse and raise your own animals there? His friend Simon Pigeon, actor in 5^e Rank and Between two sheetsaccompanies him in this gastronomic epic and the two accomplices will even take advice from the king of Quebec food, Ricardo Larrivee!

Revisiting his classics

Notice to the faithful: the new episodes of Everybody talks about it leave on Sunday, January 15 at 8 p.m. STAT and Indefensible resurrect on Monday, January 9 at 7 p.m. And the fifth season of true nature will sail on our TVs from Sunday, January 15 at 9:30 p.m. Cast off (and tie up the boat securely).
