If Passe-Partout and Passe-Muraille will obviously be back this season, their cult characters will evolve as Anthony Laborde, aka Passe-Muraille, told TV Magazine. “They will start to express themselves a little more than other years. Viewers will be surprised by the evolution of the characters!”
And the production company ALP clarified this to TV Mag, even though it had always preferred to keep the mystery around their favorite characters. “They won’t talk, there won’t be any big speechesassures ALP. There have always been interactions with Olivier Minne and the participants; this year there will be a few sentences”. Not to mention having made another major decision: no longer disguising them. If Passe-Partout has never been disguised, this is not the case for Passe-Muraille. “The production decided to position the character differently and make him evolve,” according to ALP and France Télévisions interviewed by TV Magazine. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any costumes.”
Following these changes, Anthony Laborde admitted feeling “a little pressure, a little stress,” he confessed to TV Magazine. “I’m going to have to be more careful compared to what I was doing before. But hey, we are well surrounded with Olivier Minne, Willy Rovelli, Father Fouras, Delphine Wespiser, we have a good framework and that will help us evolve towards the positive.”
As a reminder, here is already the casting planned this summer for the 35th season: Julien from “Star Academy”, Natasha St-Pier, Elie Semoun, Philippe Etchebest, Hatik and even Patrice Laffont.
