The “All stars” edition of “The Voice” barely finished, eyes are already on the next one.
According to our information, TF1 and ITV Studios France, the producer of the program, have signed the jury for the eleventh season of the telecrochet, expected in early 2022. And, surprise, for the first time since season 2, in 2013, these are the four same coaches who will return to their chairs.
Namely the historic Florent Pagny, victorious Saturday night with Anne Sila, but also Amel Bent, Marc Lavoine and Vianney, the youngest.
"At the end of the previous season, it was very natural that we wanted to leave with this quartet which had thrilled the public and our talents," explains Matthieu Grelier, director of programs and development at ITV Studios France.
Especially since this desire was shared by the four coaches, who wanted to come back all together, with the same band.
"
" A puzzle "
Bringing these four artists together once again was no easy feat, however. "It was a puzzle," confirms the producer, used to turning blind auditions in the fall. Except that Florent Pagny is currently celebrating his sixty years on stage and that Vianney has just started a tour across France. As for Amel Bent and Marc Lavoine, she promotes her new album, while he goes on filming. Without counting the various news of the host Nikos Aliagas, very taken by “50′Inside” or the “NRJ Music Awards”.
“But the desire was so strong on both sides that we got there,” rejoices Matthieu Grelier, who did everything to find the right dates.
Our production director, Fabien Husson, made 17 versions of the schedule to combine everyone's agendas!
And finally managed to find a solution, even if it meant upsetting the filming habits.
Because this year, the very first stage of the show will only be boxed at the end of December!
Not enough to discourage the production, delighted with the scores of spring 2021 where nearly six million French people followed the show, signing a record for three years.
