The three members of 2Be3, Filip, Frank and Adel, childhood friends from Longjumeau in the Paris region, will be played by Antoine Simony, Marin Judas and Namory Bakayoko. “In the boy band era, there was something very happy and very jubilant. I wanted to find that in the image and to have fun with these characters and these incarnations (…) The idea is that we especially recognize their incarnation, afterward, we are there to tell stories , to have comedy, drama, tragedy sliders”, explained Yaël Langmann at a press conference on Wednesday, reports “Télé 7 jours”.
Formed in 1996, at a time when boy bands like the Backstreet Boys were exploding internationally, 2Be3 quickly unleashed passions, alongside other groups like Alliage or G-squad. Colgate smiles and open shirts showing off their abs, they enjoyed dazzling commercial success with danceable pop hits with light lyrics like the famous “Leaving One Day”. An ephemeral phenomenon, since the trio definitively separated in 2001, but which left its mark on an entire generation of fans. Frank Delay and Filip Nikolic pursued acting careers, but the latter died in 2009, at the age of 35.
