HPI SEASON 3. The TF1 series is back on Thursday May 11, 2023. However, season 3 will be different from previous seasons. Here’s why.
[Mis à jour le 11 mai 2023 à 19h03] The HPI series, worn by the actress Audrey Fleurot, returns to TF1, Thursday, May 11, 2023. The almost ten million viewers were impatiently awaiting the third season of the channel’s flagship series. From 9:10 p.m., fans will be able to discover the rest of the adventures of their favorite heroine and in particular what happened following the kiss exchanged by Morgane and Karadec at the end of season 2, broadcast last year.
The heroine with high intellectual potential (HPI) has decided to stop working with the DIPJ (central direction of the judicial police). However, chance will bring her back to her former colleagues. HPI Season 3 is going to see a big change, which won’t satisfy everyone.
Indeed, the eight new episodes of season 3 of HPI will be broadcast for eight weeks and not four as for the previous seasons. A single new episode will be broadcast each Thursday evening, instead of two. In the second part of the evening, TF1 will rebroadcast old episodes of the series. Viewers will have to be vigilant not to get lost in the plot.
Viewers will nevertheless benefit this Thursday evening from a truly unique evening since TF1 is offering a double episode for the launch of season 3. A brand new format for the series which “allows more time for the investigation”, confided Audrey Fleurot to 20 Minutes. The return of HPI will therefore take the time to resume the police intrigue, but also the sentimental one of Morgane Alvaro (Audrey Fleurot) after the big cliffhanger of last season.

Season 1 of HPI is broadcast on TF1 from April 29, 2021 to May 20, 2021. It introduces Morgane Alvaro, a woman with high intellectual potential (160 IQ) but particularly complicated on a daily basis, who helps the Lille police to solve complex investigations . The series is a huge success in France, exceeding the symbolic bar of 10 million viewers for its third episode. On average, 11.5 million viewers watched this first season, replays included.
Faced with the colossal success of the first episode salvo, HPI was unsurprisingly offered a season 2. This is broadcast on TF from May 12 to June 16, 2022. In this sequel, Morgane resumed her life with Ludovic but finds himself in financial difficulties. Her feelings for Karadec also get in the way of her romantic stability. For its part, Karadec is under investigation by the IGPN.
With always so much success, HPI has indeed been renewed for a season 3. This begins its broadcast on May 11, 2023, from 9:10 p.m. on TF1, at the rate of one new episode per week. The broadcast should end on June 29 with the eighth episode. HPI Season 3 picks up six months after the events at the end of Season 2. Morgana has returned to being a housekeeper after cutting ties with Karadec. But she finds herself embarked on a new investigation, which should see her reconnect with the DIPJ.
The HPI series is a TF1 production broadcast on the first channel since April 29, 2021. Season 1 has eight episodes, two being broadcast every Thursday evening on the front page. The broadcast of HPI ended on May 20, 2021 on TF1 for its first season. The series was then renewed for a season 2, still on the first channel, broadcast from June 12 to 16, 2022. Season 3 is broadcast on the front page from May 11, 2023.
HPI is a series broadcast on TF1 since April 29, 2021. However, it is still possible to watch the episodes in replay on MyTF1 but also in streaming. Note also that the episodes are available on the Disney+ subscription streaming platform. It is possible to access it via computer, smartphone, tablet or Smart TV.
Audrey Fleurot plays the heroine of HPI, Morgane Alvaro. A jubilant role for the actress previously seen in Le Bazar de la Charité: “It’s very cathartic to play such an excessive, funny character, with this completely outrageous dress look. It’s something that I couldn’t assume in life,” she said in an interview with 20 minutes. To prepare to embody an HPI (high intellectual potential) character, the actress inquired on the Internet, and benefited from the knowledge and documentation of the co-creator and co-screenwriter Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, whose father is also HPI. But Audrey Fleurot would like to remind you: “We do not pretend to make a documentary on HPI.” She hasn’t had any training to play a police consultant either. The French actress, previously seen in Le Bazar de la Charité and Engrenages, invested herself in the creation of HPI, pushing the creators to choose Mehdi Nebbou to embody her on-screen partner.
TF1 is used to adaptations of foreign series, as was the case in recent years with Gloria, A man of honor or I promise you. But unlike the other fictions of the first channel, HPI is completely new: it is neither an adaptation nor a foreign remake, but a 100% original fiction!
Why is HPI criticized by some Internet users?
Ahead of its season 1 airing in 2021, the crime drama HPI drew criticism. Some Internet users have risen to the representation of HPI conveyed by the series before its broadcast on TF1. This is particularly the case of the journalist Clément Garin: “Being an HPI myself, I am sickened by this ultra-caricatural scenario. What’s the idea? To suggest that the HPIs are crazy at 18 voltage? I often groans for nothing but there, I am appalled“. For another person on Twitter, HPI seems to be “a series of totally false cliches on hpi.. Already 160 of qi so the French curve stops at 150… Beyond that we don’t calculate.. It’s going to be still hard to live for the real HPI.”
