MORE BEAUTIFUL LIFE TF1. While the series bowed out on France 3 at the end of 2022, Plus belle la vie will soon be revived by TF1. The contours of this return have been drawn.
[Mis à jour le 17 juillet 2023 à 9h18] Less than a year after its finale, “Plus belle la vie” is resurrected! TF1 has formalized the return of the cult soap opera, which made the heyday of France 3 from August 2004 to November 2022. The first channel will indeed be responsible for broadcasting new episodes of the series with the inhabitants of the Mistral. The 2024 start date is announced, without further details, since filming will resume in mid-October 2023.
For now, the new episodes of “Plus belle la vie” are being written. TF1 has also formalized the return of emblematic characters from the Mistral, such as Mirta Torrès (Sylvie Flepp), Thomas Marci (Laurent Kerusore), Jean-Paul Boher (Stephane Henon), Blanche Marci (Cecilia Hornus), Barbara Evenot (Léa François) or Abdel Fedala (Marwan Berreni).

“Plus belle la vie” is a French series broadcast Monday to Friday on France 3 from August 30, 2004 to November 18, 2022, then on TF1 from 2024. It marked the French television landscape with its incredible duration (18 years the same) but also by imposing hitherto unseen societal themes on the small screen.
Plus belle la vie is the French soap opera with the longest longevity, opposite “Tomorrow belongs to us”, “Such a big sun” or “Here everything begins”. In this series, viewers follow the daily life of the inhabitants of Marseille, who find themselves in the fictional Mistral district. Personal and societal intrigues intertwine with regularly changing detective stories.
“Plus belle la vie” follows the daily life of a group of characters linked by a common point, the Mistral, an imaginary district of Marseille in which they meet and talk about each other. Two types of plots have intersected each evening for many seasons already: plots retracing everyday social and societal issues and police plots ranging from the search for a serial killer to the fight against the mafia or terrorism. “Plus belle la vie” has got into the habit of drawing inspiration from current events with numerous references to real events or news items over the course of the episodes.
Since 2004, the list of actors and actresses in the cast of “Plus belle la vie” has changed a lot. Some continue to travel the Mistral, when new ones have appeared. Below, we offer you a non-exhaustive list of the main actors and actresses still on screen in “Plus belle la vie”:

“Plus belle la vie” has punctuated the evenings of France 3 for 18 years, since August 30, 2004. The last episode is broadcast on France 3 on November 18, 2022, after more than 4665 episodes. It is the erosion of audiences since 2018 that has cost its place to the longest soap opera of the PAF. Despite the end of the broadcast on France 3, the series will be back for a sequel on TF1 from 2024.
But how does the soap opera France 3 version end? Warning, spoilers. As we were able to discover in the episodes posted on somersault, the series bids farewell to its characters by offering happy endings for many characters and an open ending for others. Many of them are getting married or reuniting. This is the case of Kylian-Betty, Guillaume-Luna-Bastien, Estelle-Francesco, Barbara-Abdel or even Ariane-Mathieu. Also remember that Roland died a few weeks before the end of the soap opera.
