It’s official ! TF1 announced it: Secret Story is making a big return to the channel from April 23, at 11:30 p.m. The next day, the cult reality TV show will then have a daily one, broadcast at 5:30 p.m., including Saturdays.

Good news: TF1 has found a pirouette! The elimination of Secret Story will in fact be announced on Friday at 6:30 p.m. but the entire debrief part will be followed on the TF1+ platform, which therefore makes it possible to maintain the broadcast of the two series at their usual schedule.
