France 2 will launch in a few days the filming of season 2 of “The school of life”. With a notable arrival in the cast since Julie de Bona (“Plan B”) joins the series and succeeds Guillaume Labbé as the new main teacher.
While we recently learned of the stoppage of La Faute à Rousseau, which will not return for a season 3, the other school series of France 2, The school of life, will indeed be entitled to new episodes soon. . With a big casting change.
Adapted from the Quebec fiction 30 lives, The school of life, broadcast in the spring of 2021, told the daily life of Vincent Picard (Guillaume Labbé), a History-Geo teacher in a high school in a big city who, while he was going through a terrible drama on a personal level, doing his best to continue his teaching profession without fail and not to sink. His priority remains his students.
Confirmed more than a year ago by France 2, season 2 will finally begin filming this Tuesday August 16 in Paris and the Paris region. And who says new season of The school of life, says even high school (the Arago high school) but new main teacher since, in the original Quebec series, each season focused on a different teacher.
Julie de Bona will be the heroine of season 2
For the return to the screen of the series produced by Nagui via Fiction’Air and Banijay Studios, France 2 has called on a face extremely appreciated by viewers since it is Julie de Bona who will play Alexandra Delage, the new heroine of L school of life.
Aged 34, Alexandra Delage is both an amazing French teacher and a brilliant teacher in a theater workshop. In everything she does, Alexandra naturally empathizes with her students: according to her, to learn well, you have to feel good about yourself.
This is why she tries to solve as much as possible the problems of her students and especially those, particularly acute, of one of her classes of Première, which we will thus follow throughout these six new episodes.
But everything becomes even more difficult when Alexandra is forced to manage a personal problem that could jeopardize her career and her family plans. For the first time in her life, the one who loves helping others will also have to agree to get help.
Expected soon in the credits of the series Les Combattantes and La Maison d’en face, as well as the M6 TV movie Dragon Boat (on the set of which we recently went) Julie de Bona is definitely not idle and continues to chain beautiful projects.
At his side, the faithful of the series will find almost all of the teaching staff of the first season, namely Florence Pernel (Carole Mine), Bruno Sanches (Léo Costa), Mélanie Page (Sandrine Joubert), Nicolas Briançon (Xavier Burgin) , Cédric Revollon (M. Chagne), Yannig Samot (Patrick Bouvier), Cécile Rebboah (Aline Fourge), Léa Millet (Mme Jimenez), and Nader Boussandel (Rayan Yadir).
