Remember: the forced retirement in 2021 of the series Mongeville, stopped by France Televisions when it achieved good audiences, was a real blow. For the fans of course (who had mobilized through a petition) but also for Francis Perrin, who had not failed to let it be known. Sacrificed on the altar of renewal, Mongeville has, since last August, found a second youth on C8. Although the channel only offers reruns, these average nearly 1.3 million viewers each Wednesday. A feat for the TNT channel. From there to imagine that she wants to restart the machine… At least the time of a last episode.
Relaunch Mongeville on C8? “This discussion will be inevitable.
The beautiful audiences of Mongeville on C8 prove the popularity of this character, who owes everything to his interpreter, Francis Perrin, whose sympathy capital is undeniable. Despite this, the desire to offer a last episode to the fans in order to properly complete this adventure had not been heard by France Télévisions. Maybe it will be on C8… Tele-Leisure asked the question to Vincent Pujol, director of programs for the TNT channel.

“It’s like in life: you can have desires but certain realities mean that you can’t satisfy them right away or that you may never be able to satisfy them. But it’s true that, since on August 24, when we started broadcasting Mongeville and brought together 1.69 million viewers, we say to ourselves that it is exceptional! I believe that in the 25 best audiences of TNT 2022, there are seven evenings Mongeville, enthuses Vincent Pujol. In the small cathodic microcosm, it was a small tsunami. […] Propose a new episode of Mongeville that would come full circle, would make a lot of sense. Some mornings, we start dreaming about the idea of being able to offer it to viewers. The desire is indisputable and, if we have not held a working meeting on this subject, this discussion will be inevitable. […] When we sit around the table and make projections on the next school year – when I say the next school year it’s the month of September –it can be part of the dreams that, to this day, seem financially unattainable but can find meaning in one way or another”…

The production hopes
For Alexandra Clert, the director of Sound and Images, which produces Mongeville And gears, as Francis Perrin likes to point out, the end of the series had been a cold shower. Just like the fact of not being able to make a last episode worthy of the name. In view of the performances on C8, the producer regains hope. “If we are ordered, it’s as if it were done!, she assures. It would be great and eventful.” Between a chain delighted beyond its expectations with the results of the series and a team ready to go back to the front, a return of Mongeville for a final lap cannot be ruled out. Even if it’s not relevant today, we want to believe it!
