The police TV movie “Snow”, broadcast this Monday evening on France 2, could it give rise to one or more sequels? Was it thought of as the pilot of a collection? Frédéric Diefenthal responds.
Broadcast last night on France 2, the TV movie Snow, led by Frédéric Diefenthal (Here it all begins), came well ahead of the audience by bringing together no less than 5.59 million viewers, or 26.5% of the entire audience.
A real hit for this snowy thriller also with Murielle Huet des Aunay (Coups de sang), Marie Bouvet (La Maison d’en face) and Etienne Diallo (Tomorrow belongs to us) who takes us to the Alps, in the heart of winter , while several notables of the region were found murdered in their homes.
Police captain Thomas Delhaye, in charge of the case, decides to release Juliette Hémon from prison for a few days, a young woman imprisoned years earlier for a strangely similar affair. The beginning of a much more complex investigation than expected for this unlikely duo.
Will the TV movie Snow have a sequel on France 2?
Could the success of Neige this Monday, March 6, give France 2 desires and encourage the channel to order a sequel? A priori not if we are to believe the declarations of Frédéric Diefenthal to our colleagues from Entertainment TV.
“Oh no. No. We can always imagine everything but it’s a TV movie”replies bluntly the interpreter of Thomas Delhaye, who has also distinguished himself for several years on TF1 in Here it all begins, in the skin of Antoine Myriel (character he first portrayed in Tomorrow belongs to us).
“It’s good to also conceive things like this, to make a TV movie where, in 1h30, we see quite dense things and during which we have time to put a lot of things, and not just chatter or text explanations or pictures”.
Neige is therefore not intended to become a collection, unlike a television film like Le Voyageur on France 3, which, after a successful first opus, gave birth to a series of closed investigations carried out by Eric Cantona then Bruno Debrandt .
Fortunately, thriller lovers will continue to have their account of detective TV films on France Télévisions, with in particular the “Meurtres à…” collection which continues even more, after an opus in Béarn with Catherine Marchal and Isabel Otero broadcast there a few days.
But not only since this Saturday March 11 France 3 will broadcast the new thriller The Secret of the cave, led by Elodie Varlet (More beautiful life) and Samy Gharbi (Tomorrow belongs to us).
