Soon to be showing the film “3 days max” that he directed, could Tarek Boudali resume his role as Kader in “En Famille” for the time of a bonus or an exceptional episode? Marie Vincent and the artistic producer seem confident.
While season 12 of En Famille ends this Friday, August 25 on M6, to make way on Monday for the unpublished Scenes of households without Huguette, a return of Tarek Boudali, the interpreter of Kader, is it possible in the next episodes that will be shot? We asked the question to the En Famille team.
A recurring member for seven years of the cast of the successful shortcom alongside Marie Vincent, Yves Pignot, Jeanne Savary, Charlie Bruneau, Axel Huet and Lucie Bourdeu, Tarek Boudali ended up leaving the series in 2019, at the end of the seventh season, in order to devote himself to his increasingly busy cinema schedule.
Since then, Roxane, separated from Kader who went to live in New Zealand, has rebuilt her life with Milo, played by Gérémy Credeville. A new important chapter in the life of the young mother who disturbed Charlie Bruneau a little when the authors began to imagine this romance between Roxane and Milo.
“I was a little scared. I got on very well with Tarek. It was with him that I had spent the first casting of the series. We had a lot of fun, we were very different in the way of working, but We got along wonderfully”explained to us the actress last year.
“So I was afraid it wouldn’t be as good. But in the end, when they proposed that the character of Milo arrive, we had tried a lot of things, we had gone around Roxane’s celibacy a bit, and I was very happy to welcome Gérémy”.
Tarek Boudali back as a guest for an exceptional bonus?
Met last June as part of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, Benjamin Guedj, the artistic director and collection director of En Famille, explained to us that the production and the channel would obviously be delighted to see Tarek Boudali return in En Famille , the series which revealed him to the general public before the success of Babysitting, Alibi.com, 30 days max or Super-heroes despite him.
“We would obviously be in. It would be quite nice to bring Kader back. Since we are dealing with the family, Kader remains an important character in our universe, he is Roxane’s ex-husband, the father of the twins. has things to say about joint custody, for example”.
Of course, Benjamin Guedj rules out the possibility of Kader returning for several episodes or a full season, but adds that Tarek Boudali could very well reappear in prime-time or for an exceptional event (on image of the wedding of Tata Lucienne celebrated a little earlier this week on M6).
“For a special event it would be great. For Tarek Boudali to return as a recurring, I don’t think that will happen. But the door is not closed to an event return, we have not drawn a line under this and about this character”.
And according to Marie Vincent, who was also present at the Monte-Carlo Festival, Tarek Boudali has not forgotten En Famille, far from it, and even seems to be thinking about a possible return soon: “I regularly have Tarek on the phone, he remains very attached to the series”told us the interpreter of Brigitte Le Kervelec, before announcing good news to fans of the series. “I think Tarek will come back. He told me so”.
It therefore only remains to hope that this promise will materialize and that the authors of En Famille and Tarek Boudali, who will be showing on October 25 at the cinema of the film 3 days max that he directed, will manage to grant their diaries to imagine a bonus around Kader’s return to the Le Kervelec tribe.
In the meantime, find the last episodes of season 12 of En Famille this evening at 8:30 p.m. on M6 and the new bonus “A castle in heritage” on Thursday September 7 from 9:10 p.m.
