Revealed to the general public thanks to the series Ten percent, on France Télévisions, and at The Little History of Franceon W9, Ophélia Kolb has since become Julien Doré’s playmate in the series Panda on TF1. This police comedy attracted more than 4.5 million viewers on average per evening last year. A success that she did not expect, but which delighted her: “II was very happy to see that the public had bought into our madness“. This success enabled a season 2, which will start Thursday January 9, on TF1, at 9:10 p.m.
For those who have not yet succumbed to the charms of the series PandaPanda, played by Julien Doré, is the nickname of a Zen policeman who lives in a hut on the beach. Close to nature, always in Birkenstock, he carries out his investigations with Lola who is the complete opposite, a very fast, tempestuous policewoman, like an electric battery. Ultimately, they complement each other perfectly in their investigations, but each with their own method.
The on-screen duo did not know each other before and during the first tests, they got along well, as Ophélia Kolb confides: “There was something that happened, an alchemy, something that we played while leaving the text aside a little. We both said that it would be good to leave together”. Even if Julien Doré is not originally an actor, he has this extra soul, according to her: “Julien is very gifted, he understands everything very quickly and has incredible instincts, listening skills, generosity.”
“It’s very pleasant to play with Julien Doré because he is so generous that it becomes easy.”

So no, her character of Lola is not like her, even if half-heartedly she admits to being “explosive perhaps, but gentler, I don’t shout at people”and, without spoiling the second season and its six new episodes, she announces that Lola will be much calmer. “That’s it, maybe she found love and now things are going well at work, because she was burned out at the start of season 1. So there are other things going on in her life , it is more softened all the same“.
While waiting to know if there will be a season 3 of “Panda”, Ophélia Kolb will go on tour throughout France with the play: A New York trilogy. She is also preparing to star in a horror film next spring. His newfound notoriety brings him very different roles. It is therefore outdated, the image of a sweet and fragile blonde woman with blue eyes.who cries all the time“She could see herself starring in an action film.”My dream would be to be an action movie heroine, to do lots of stunts“, a bit like Camille Lou in the series Cat’s Eyes in which she participated, “she really climbed the Eiffel Tower for real, she really did the stunts and I found it fascinating“. “I wanted to be in his place, I thought it was great, she continues, I would love“.
