“What, already? ! This is probably the reaction you had when your favorite newspaper told you what TF1 scheduled a new season of Koh-Lanta almost two months to the day following the final of The legend. Was he hiding behind this programming a desire to quickly erase deals who have tarnished the image of the show?
If it is difficult to have the answer to this question, we now know that the chain intends to reduce the airfoil. In an interview with our colleagues from puremeansXavier Gandon, director of the group’s TV and digital channels, revealed that only the edition of the cursed totem would be released this year. “There is no ongoing filming of a new season and therefore there will be no second season of Koh-Lanta back to school,” he said.
From the Philippines to Dammarie-les-Lys?
This lack of Koh-Lanta on TF1’s back-to-school program schedule might perhaps be used to relaunch one of the channel’s biggest brands: Star Academy. This week, The Parisian announced that the return of the show was in the cards.
“We do not confirm the return of the program, underlined Xavier Gandon. On the other hand, we confirm that we are thinking with Endemol regarding what a new version on TF1 of the Star Academy “. If the chain is still only at the stage of reflection, it is because it wants to be sure to hold in its hands “an editorial proposal which sufficiently renews the promise”. The decision should be made in the coming weeks.
