TF1 has just announced the start of filming for season 2 of “Lycée Toulouse Lautrec”, one of its hits of the year. With new actors on the program, but also the absence of Rayane Bensetti and Abraham Wapler, who are not returning.
Good news for fans of teen series: Lycée Toulouse-Lautrec, led by Chine Thybaud (Endless Night), Ness Merad, Stéphane de Groodt and Valérie Karsenti, is back shooting for an already highly anticipated season 2.
Launched at the beginning of the year on TF1, the first season of Lycée Toulouse-Lautrec, created by Fanny Riedberger (Les Randonneuses) from her own story and her experience as a high school student in the real Lycée Erea Toulouse Lautrec de Vaucresson, had met with a great success, bringing together an average of 4.2 million viewers on D+7 (including replay) over all of its six episodes.
When this second season begins, the filming of which has just started between Paris and Vaucresson in the Hauts-de-Seine, Victoire, Marie-Antoinette, Reda (Adil Dehbi), Roxana (Aminthe Audiard) and the others are still very affected by the Charlie’s death.
While the establishment run by Mr. Feuillate came close to closing just before the holidays, it is therefore a somewhat special resumption of classes that awaits the students and the teaching staff of the Toulouse-Lautrec high school. But the course of life must resume…
