HPI continues its glorious journey on TF1. The first four episodes of the first part of season 4 (also available on TF1+) see Karadec (Mehdi Nebbou) leave the police station to be replaced by another commander. For her part, Morgane (Audrey Fleurot) – who still does not know the identity of the father of her baby and suspects her ex-colleague of being the father – is overwhelmed by this unexpected departure. Even if she refuses to show it. However, at the end of episode 4, Morgane finally announces to Karadec that she is pregnant and… that he may be the father. Fans will have to be patient to discover the rest of this penultimate season of the TF1 comedy split into two parts. We will only see Audrey Fleurot again with her dazzling wig and her colorful look at the start of the school year. In preview Alice Chegaray-Breugnot and Julien Anscutter, screenwriter and collection director on the series, and actor Mehdi Nebbou tell us more about what awaits us.

If the writers wanted to raise the possibility of an interruption of pregnancy, it was ultimately decided that Morgane would keep her child to maintain the tone of comedy. The consultant is initially in denial of this unborn child but nature remembers her good memories. “When the baby hits her for the first time, she will gradually become aware of her condition.” confided Audrey Fleurot in a press conference given at the Séries Mania Festival. The pregnancy will be integrated into the plot. “I had a fake stomach! said the actress, My son [Lou, né en 2015, N.D.L.R.] came to the set and loved pressing it. He actually asked me for a little brother or sister, but I told him that I was outdated. [Elle rit.] What’s funny about Morgane is that she absolutely doesn’t want to change her wardrobe. There is a scene where she wants to wear a top that she no longer fits in at all..”

HPI: After season 5, the series could return in the form of TV films
While Audrey Fleurot and Mehdi Nebbou declared that season 5 would be the last, the team logically fears the idea of giving the final point to this project. “It’s going to be heartbreaking” predicted Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, “HPI is my third baby!“But like the star actors in their series, they don’t want to.”not tire the viewers“. They are therefore considering giving a second life to HPI in the form of an off-season episode. And why not a musical TV movie. “Audrey would be very keen” confides Alice Chegaray-Breugnot, adding: “I would really like that, but it’s an additional challenge because you have to write the songs and the choreographies require filming time, so it needs to be planned very early in the writing. It could be an off season“.
