The news had the effect of an earthquake this Thursday, February 17. Le Figaro taught us that Plus belle la vie, France 3’s flagship soap opera, was going to end at the end of its current season. The daily evokes the erosion of audiences since 2018 to justify such an initiative. But a few hours after the release of this information, The Parisian is more cautious about the end of the series. The Ile-de-France media specifies that nothing has yet been decided: the end of PBLV “is in any case one of the options”, among others, for France Télévisions, which is currently discussing of the future of the daily soap opera.
France Télévisions spoke to Le Parisien, announcing that “our contract with Newen [société productrice du feuilleton, ndlr] ends on December 31, 2022. After this date, the end of Plus belle la vie, whose audiences are down, is a possibility. But it is not the only one. We have simply reopened the discussions, like two years ago.” Is there still hope for Plus belle la vie, the queen mother of daily fiction? In any case, it’s time to wait for the fans of the soap opera. If the end clap was recorded, Plus belle la vie could end at the end of the 2021-2022 season. The last full season, the 17th, ended on France 3 on August 27, 2021.
Plus belle la vie is a pioneering series in the audiovisual landscape. On the air since 2004, it has paved the way for new, more recent series, such as Tomorrow belongs to us and Here everything begins on TF1, Un si grand soleil on France 2. The arrival of this new competition would have impacted the audiences of the soap opera of France 3. Le Figaro gives the details of this loss of hearings. Beyond 4 million viewers for ten years (and 18% market share), it has lost many fans since 2018. According to Médiamétrie, audiences have stagnated on average at 2.6 million viewers each evening, for 11 .4% market share. A significant drop in audience, especially since the budget for the daily series is significant: nearly 30 million euros per year. According to Le Figaro, PBLV could therefore stop after 17 years of broadcasting, by August or September.

The plot of Plus belle la vie is difficult to summarize, as the series has changed since its creation in 2004. Every evening, it is possible to follow the daily life of the inhabitants of a fictional district of Marseille, the Mistral. Several intrigues are intertwined: a policewoman, who can stage different investigations, such as the hunt for a serial killer, assaults, the fight against the mafia or terrorism, more personal intrigues (romantic, family… ) and societal. Plus belle la vie has the particularity of being completely rooted in current events and does not fail to refer to real events, such as the death of a personality, attacks or elections.
