End clap for
Balthazar
on TF1.
Thursday evening, the first channel broadcast
Game over
, the sixth and final episode of season 6 of the detective series worn by
Tomer Sisley
.
According to Médiamétrie, 4.9 million viewers on average (23% of PDA) followed the last moments of the medical examiner.
While the various recurring characters meet in a final scene talking about their projects, Raphaël Balthazar appears with his baby in his arms, Alice, and kisses Olivia (Caterina Murino).
But the story did not end there.

Another place, another moment: at the wheel of Balthazar's Shelby Cobra, a young woman talks with him.
In this three-minute epilogue, we understand that the character played by Tomer Sisley speaks with his daughter Alice, who has become an adult and, like him, a medical examiner.
As she walks towards a corpse, she talks to him and jokes around until a police officer wonders who she is talking to.
Change of plan, the ghost of Balthazar has disappeared.
"I'll give you some advice: never take death too seriously because, in the end, we survive it,"
he told his daughter before evaporating.
Towards a Balthazar
spin-off
?
An issue that opens the possibility of a spin-off of the series around the character played by
Lise Lomi
but which questions the origin of Balthazar's death.
“I regret that it was not explained in the series
, declared Tomer Sisley to
Télé-Loisirs
.
He probably died from taking, once too often, a little too much risk.
Living this somewhat extreme life and always brushing the limit, one day or another, you end up paying the bill.
”
Creator of the series, Clothilde Jamin wanted
“to show that, in a certain way, Balthazar is immortal”
, she says to
Allociné
.
“This last scene also reflected our desire to say that we are all a little bit mourning Balthazar: we bring our dead to life on a daily basis.
And his daughter will be like him.

As for the project of a spin-off, Clothilde Jamin does not close any doors but poses certain reservations.
“We inevitably ask ourselves the question when we have such a strong concept, in a universe as rich as that of forensic medicine.
But we don't want to damage this series that is dear to us either
, ”she told us.
