Broadcast a few weeks ago on France 2, the police television film “Flair de famille”, with Sylvie Testud and Samuel Labarthe, will be entitled to a second episode due to its success. Just like another chain pilot.
The cops embodied by Sylvie Testud and Samuel Labarthe will soon resume service on France 2.
Broadcast on April 8, the TV movie Flair de famille, which had been thought of as a pilot, will indeed be entitled to a second episode due to its audience success. Indeed, facing The Voice on TF1, this police unit managed to gather 4.3 million viewers (23% of the entire public) and to offer the head of the hearings to France 2 that evening.
Directed by Didier Bivel (Uncovered, Unfaithful), Flair de famille features Samuel Labarthe (The Little Murders of Agatha Christie) and Sylvie Testud (Runaway) in the skin of François and Caroline Flament, brother and sister heirs of a dynasty of cops, who form an atypical duo of investigators with complementary but often conflicting methods.
She, transferred to her hometown, is a life speedee who has a hard time getting out of the spirit and methods of the BAC of 9-3. He, a very popular commissioner in his region who has lived alone since the death of his wife, is a “false slow” who has no equal in deciphering men thanks to his passion and his knowledge of animals.

A duo of atypical cops, complementary but also always ready to bicker as when they were children, who we will therefore find in a new episode which will begin filming this year, as revealed to us by Anne Holmes, the director of fiction and director of programs at France Télévisions.
And who will not be the only pilot recently broadcast to become a series since In instinct, broadcast in February with Christopher Bayemi and Charlie Bruneau in the main roles, will also be entitled to a second part.
“When we make between 4.3 and 5 million with these drivers, it would be a shame to stop there (laughs)”says Anne Holmes. “So yes, we are going to shoot a second episode of À l’instinct this year, and a second episode of Flair de famille also with Sylvie Testud and Samuel Labarthe”.
“Everybody lies with Vincent Elbaz also going back to filming soon for a second part, the text is really good, we are happy”continues Anne Holmes. “And we are also launching the filming of a second episode of Appointment with crime“The Black Sheep”, always with Arié Elmaleh and Sophie de Fürst“.
The proof if it were necessary that the police fictions have more than ever the wind in their sails on French television. And that all of France Télévisions’ recent attempts in this area, from Flair de famille to Tout le monde ment, via Simon Coleman, who has returned to filming for two new episodes, have proven to be successful.
