The series Master Crimes, with the couple Muriel Robin and Anne Le Nen, returns for a second season on TF1…
Season 2 of Master Crimes has been scheduled from Thursday October 17 on TF1, the first channel announced a few weeks before its broadcast. This series features the duo formed by Muriel Robin and Anne Le Nen, companions in town and on screen, in the shoes of a university criminology professor and a police captain who join forces to solve investigations. The first season of Master Crimes was a great success last year on TF1, with 4.3 million viewers on average. For the launch of season 2, TF1 is offering two new episodes with very different atmospheres but still just as gloomy.
In “No Body’s Perfect”, writer Louise Arbus (Muriel Robin) and captain Barbara Delandre (Anne Le Nen) visit a painting workshop dedicated to art therapy. There, a man was found literally suspended in a position similar to that of Rodin’s The Thinker. Quickly, the investigation focuses on the participants of the workshop, four women who suffer from psychological disorders, consequences of the trauma they have suffered. To protect themselves from the outside world, they have gotten into the habit of lying and camouflaging themselves. They only express their true personality through art. If they want to find out which one is the culprit, Louise and the students will have to analyze the works of each.
The common thread of Master Crimes maintained
In the second episode of Master Crimes, it is a community of survivalists which this time serves as the setting, not far from which the body of a young man was found. Convinced that society will soon collapse, these people are preparing to live in total autonomy, disconnected from the modern world. Suspicious and desperate, they take a dim view of any attempt at intrusion from the outside into their little world. To investigate, Louise and the students will have to manage to infiltrate the community and adopt their way of life to get as close as possible to them. They will then discover that beneath the veneer of utopia lies a much darker reality.
The detective series, which put Muriel Robin and her partner Anne Le Nen on the big screen, as a couple in the city, plunges the two main characters into dark and hostile worlds. In parallel with these intrigues, we find the common thread of Master Crimes: in the hope of repairing her mistake, Louise will investigate Capac. She would like to allow Delaunay to get out of prison and Mia to find her mother. But the young student also gets involved in this investigation, thus putting herself in danger… Enough to keep viewers keen on detective intrigues tinged with thrills in suspense.
Muriel Robin and Anne Le Nen in “symbiosis”
Master Crimes established itself as the most watched French series in 2023 on TF1. The channel is betting big on this second season, hoping to repeat this success, driven by the charisma and intact popularity of the couple formed by Muriel Robin and Anne Le Nen, who seems to be the real keystone of this detective series like no other. A program which publicized their love story, until then remained in the shadows. Since then, the couple has appeared on the front pages of magazines and on social networks. In September Muriel Robin even made a beautiful statement to Anne Le Nen on Instagram, considering her “the most loved woman in the world”.
The two actresses, in a relationship for 18 years (they met in 2006, entered into a civil partnership in 2009 and married in 2021), admit to sharing a great complicity and a precious “creative symbiosis” to carry this series together, despite their distance from each other. age (they have a 16 year difference). In an interview with Télé Magazine, they spoke of their mutual admiration and their refusal of the slightest separation. “We also amaze each other. It gives us wings,” said Anne Le Nen, when Muriel Robin assured that she would refuse “to leave for four months, even to shoot the biggest film”.
“If it wasn’t for her…”
“What we do together is more important,” says the comedian and actress who has maintained complex relationships with the world of the big screen. “The more I see Anne, the better I feel. I will be 70 next year,” says Muriel Robin, assuring that her “wealth is health and love.”
In Ouest-France more recently, Muriel Robin reiterated the extent to which Anne Le Nen was essential for the filming of Master Crimes: “If it wasn’t with her, I wouldn’t do a four-month shoot with someone “other. I need to see her every day. After 18 years together, we have reached a point in our relationship that is in total harmony, so nothing bad can happen on set.” she admitted, while recognizing that filming together would not have been possible a few years ago because Anne Le Nen “needed her projects to belong to her” and that the couple was not “at same place.” “Now, we have passed this milestone. Above all, it was not me who asked that we play together. It was UGC who suggested it. So everything lined up for us to try the experience .”
