What a great New Year gift! On the night of December 31 to January 1, a video of "Skam France" was posted to announce the start, this Monday, January 6, of season 5 of the teenage series. A festive nightclub scene where the heroes, now in their final year, danced during the transition to 2020. Until Arthur, member of the band since season 3, was struck by ear pain. In just over a minute and a half, with a striking staging, the new hero of the series was in distress.
A deluge of comments had then invaded social networks, netizens claiming their joy at finding "Skam France" on the screens and highlighting the poignant performance of Robin Migné, the actor who plays Arthur. Since then, the impatience of French faithful, but also foreigners - the number of messages written in English is impressive - has only grown.
It must be said that this season 5 has a very special flavor, because the previous four were adapted from the original version of the series, from Norway. This one having ended at the end of 4 seasons, the French are the first to produce a completely new continuation.
Disability, a central theme
Since this Monday morning at 9:37 am, that's it, season 5 is really launched, with the launch of the first scene of the 10 episodes. Recall that "Skam France" is a series broadcast in real time: each weekly episode is divided into sequences broadcast at the time they take place in fiction, before being assembled into a full section each Friday at 6 p.m. on France.tv Slash.
This Monday morning therefore, it is during an information meeting on the Parcoursup choice of orientation system, that we find the protagonists in high school. Once again, Arthur is disturbed by hearing problems that push him to leave the room.
No longer any doubt, this sudden handicap constitutes the central theme of season 5, where the third staged the discovery of his homosexuality by Lucas, and the fourth the conflicts of the young Muslim Imane between her religious convictions and her emerging romantic feelings. .
Bet won for this fifth season
While the series already compiles more than 100 million online views for all of its first four seasons, one wondered how it could be renewed and continue to fascinate. The bet is already won for the director David Hourrègue and the main author Niels Rahou, who take in the guts from these first minutes. Like the fans, we also salute the talent of Robin Migné, who is largely up to the lighting of his character.
