D-day is fast approaching. This Tuesday, April 23 from 11:30 p.m., TF1 will offer the 12th season of Secret Storystill presented by Christophe Beaugrand, but without the emblematic Voice of Dominique Duforest, who will be entitled to a replacement with a name currently kept secret. It’s been two years already that the production company Endemol France works with the greatest discretion on the return of the cult reality TV show which was the heyday of TF1 between 2007 and 2015 before switching to TFX until 2017 and then being abandoned due to declining audiences…”But strategy games are on the rise. And the reference one is Secret Story“, says TF1.
Secret Story returns to TF1: how many candidates will there be?
For this 2024 season, the concept remains unchanged: locked in a house, around fifteen candidates will each have a secret… and will have to do everything to keep it. The prize is 100,000 euros for the winner! If the precise number of participants has not been communicated at this time, it is because the production can change its plans until the last minute. “Casting is a living matter“, we are told. If in terms of form, little has changed, in substance, Endemol France has revised its copy. “We wanted something more authentic, personalities “, announces Jean-Louis Blot, the producer. And Rémi Faure, the director of streaming programs at TF1 adds: “We wanted a casting that is not there to be Instagrammers“.
