Three seasons and then goes. Fans of TF1 fiction I promise you will have to say goodbye to their favorite characters sooner than expected. The French adaptation of the American series This Is Us ends this Monday, April 24 on two last unpublished episodes, after three seasons. “The time has come to say goodbye to them”, can we hear in the trailer for these final episodes. While a fourth season was planned, TF1 confirmed to Puremédias that the series was ending, for lack of satisfactory audiences.
Finally, as Le Parisien explained in early April, TF1 had chosen to maintain a third season, but with a revised scheme: only eight episodes, compared to twelve for the first two. “This allows for a more classic storytelling and distribution scheme that is more suited to our standards,” explained Anne Viau, artistic director of the group’s fiction.
On the plot side, TF1 had also taken the liberty, for this third season, to deviate from the American original: “Where This Is Us is a pure melodrama, we did a dramedy [contraction of “drama” and “comedy “, Editor’s note] with positive and wanted to give this season 3 more humor, warmth and rhythm, “revealed Aline Panel, producer of I promise you.
