The story is almost over More beautiful life. In August 2004, the France 3 channel broadcast the first episode of its cult daily soap opera, featuring the not always calm life of the inhabitants of Mistral, an imaginary district of Marseille. But, after eighteen years on the air, the episodes are now counted, since the series will bow out in November 2022, during a final episode worthy of the name, which will bring together several emblematic characters. And in the meantime, the chain, she, already found the program who would replace More beautiful life. And this, “from January 2023”announced Delphine Ernotte.

We have a lot of hypotheses and a lot of leads”, said Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, the program director of France Télévisions. In the meantime, fans of More beautiful life savor the last moments of the series, its plots full of twists, and even nourish the hope of seeing some well-known faces again, such as that of Laëtitia Milot, who left the soap opera in 2018. And this, even if the return of her character Melanie Rinato is uncertain.
