Faced with the success of the launch of season 3 last week, France 2 has decided to shake up the broadcast of new episodes of “Tropiques Criminels” this evening.
On Friday September 30, France 2 launched the broadcast of season 3 of Tropiques Criminels, one of its flagship police series carried by Béatrice de La Boulaye and Sonia Rolland, which follows a duo of investigators evolving in Martinique.
Mélissa, an excellent investigator of Martinican origin and single mother of two teenagers, finds herself, despite herself, the leader of a crime group on an island where she has never set foot. Gaëlle, who has lived here since childhood and knows the area by heart, is spontaneous, go-getter and independent and doesn’t really have her tongue in her pocket.
If fans of the detective series were happy to find two new episodes of Criminal Tropics every Friday evening, they will have to take their troubles patiently before discovering the finale of this season 3.
Indeed, after only a week on the air, France 2 has decided to shake up the broadcast of the series. From this Friday evening, the channel will indeed not offer more than one new episode per evening before moving on to reruns of previous seasons.
An unsurprising decision when we know that, when season 3 was launched, Tropiques Criminels was watched on average by 4.55 million viewers for a market share of 24.6%. Figures which have thus enabled the detective series to beat TF1 and its juggernaut Dancing with the Stars.
Season 3 is therefore in the same line as the previous seasons. Season 2, broadcast in March 2021 on France 2, had already proven that Tropiques Criminels was a series to rely on, since, for its first evening of broadcast, 4.27 million viewers had followed the new adventures of Mélissa and Gaëlle.
Find an unpublished episode of Tropiques Criminels this Friday evening from 9:10 p.m. on France 2. For the most impatient, season 3 is already available in full on the Salto platform.
