In 2021, the audiences for season 2 allowed the detective series to appear in the ranking of the most viewed French series that year. Season 3 was in the same vein since it managed to attract an average of 5.8 million viewers, for a 28.7% market share. Scores which allowed Astrid and Raphaëlle to achieve its best audience since its launch.
And this trend does not seem ready to run out of steam. Last week, the first two episodes brought together 5.05 million followers on average according to Médiamétrie, or 27% of individuals aged four and over (4+) for a market share of 11.8% among women responsible for purchases under fifty years old (FRDA-50).
