TFX reality TV makes its revolution with a 100% anonymous cast

IN PICTURES – Launched in 2015 on the TF1 group channel, the romance program, where candidates try to solve their sentimental problems with the help of a love coach, is betting on strangers for the first time.
Weakened by the repeated scandals of its star candidates and by the drop in audiences for most of its programs, the world of reality TV in France seems to be making a new turn in 2023. On W9, “Love Island” will soon be broadcast instead of the “Princes and Princesses of Love” format that has come to an end. “Les Marseillais” like “Le Cross” could take a break or even never return to the air. On the platforms, Netflix had shown the way in 2020 with production and broadcasting of an excellent French season of “The Circle” – unfortunately without a future – with a cast of strangers. Lately, Amazon Prime Video offered “Cosmic Love” a new romance program hosted by Nabilla Vergara and produced by ITV Studios France with, again, only new faces.
It is clearly with this desire for renewal that TFX is preparing to broadcast an eighth season of “The Villa of Broken Hearts” (renamed “La Villa”) with, for the first time, a 100% anonymous cast. In the past, this romance program which was intended to be constructive and educational was above all the scene of bad staging and real violence orchestrated by untrustworthy and insincere reality TV professionals. In 2021 in particular, during season 6, Giuseppa Ciurleo had testified to the ordeal she had experienced under the eye of the cameras of Ah! Production and the psychological pressures she had been under during filming.

For this new start of “La Villa”, the love coach Lucie Mariotti promises to accompany these fourteen single people with very different profiles “on the road to rebirth”. “They are students, specialized educator, saleswoman, model, content creator, or sports coach and all, have the same objectives to rebuild themselves, and above all to find love with big A, the one that will make them forget their old stories and all their ills”, details the presentation of this season 8 broadcast from April 3, Monday to Friday at 6 p.m. on TFX. The previous edition of “La Villa des coeursbrokens” broadcast in the spring of 2022 had only 204,000 viewers on average (1.3% of PDA).
