Returning this summer in “Here everything begins” in flashback sequences, Francis Huster seems ready to resume his role as Auguste Armand in the future. But is a new return of the character already planned? We asked the question to the production.
Marked by the successive departures of Fabian Wolfrom (Louis) and Thomas Da Costa (Axel), who posted a nice farewell message on social networks after the broadcast of his last episode, the summer intrigue of Here it all begins also allowed fans to see Francis Huster again in the role of Auguste Armand, the director of the institute who died almost three years ago.
By revealing that Auguste had been assassinated, and playing the card of mystery and Cluedo before revealing the identity of his assassin, the scriptwriters of the TF1 soap opera had the idea of offering Francis Huster to reappear in Here everything begins through flashbacks, which have allowed us to learn a little more about Auguste’s state of mind and his relations with those close to him before his death.
The idea of returning to the series immediately appealed to Francis Huster, who had promised the production that he would resume his role one day: “I kept my promise. In 2020, when the series was created, I couldn’t stay because I had plans for the theater. But when Auguste Armand died, I promised the teams that I would come back”entrusted the actor to Télé Poche.
“I really like the concept of flashbacks, which were invented by Shakespeare in Hamlet, because they give new strength to the series. You can’t lie. It’s necessarily the truth that is told”.
Is another return of Augustus already on the agenda?
Asked by the magazine about the exceptional aspect, or not, of this return, the interpreter of Auguste Armand admitted to having a great desire to return regularly to Here it all begins: “Personally, I’m ready to come back every two or three months, either to redo flashbacks, or to stay with the other characters for a little while”.
At present, no other return of Auguste in the series seems planned by the authors. Sarah Farahmand, the producer of Here it all begins, precisely believing that the presence of Francis Huster must remain eventful.
“It’s true that when you watch the episodes, it’s so good to see it again. It’s really fun and it’s super intense”she admits to our microphone. “But we think it should remain episodic. So every three months is a lot (laughs). But if other ideas come to us, of course we’ll call Francis hoping he’s available”.
As is the case for Louis who, according to the producer of Here everything begins, should one day return to the institute, the door therefore remains open in any case to a possible return of Auguste Armand, and of his interpreter, in the series on the occasion of new flashbacks or new crazy revelations.
