It’s an adventure lasting several months that will begin for the lucky ones who will join the new promotion of the “Star Academy”. Who will succeed Pierre Garnier? The public will make its decisive choice during the month of January. And for this third season since the return of the legendary TF1 talent show, the production has decided to make some changes, whether at the level of the teaching staff and even the mechanics of the game, with some adjustments. Puremédias details everything you need to know a few days before the launch bonus.
When will this new season be broadcast?
It is this Saturday, October 12 that Nikos Aliagas, accompanied by Karima Charni, will present the launch bonus for this new season from 9:10 p.m. on TF1. The public will thus get to know the new students and the teachers who will supervise them throughout the adventure. The show should last at least until January since during the press presentation, TF1 indicated that the new residents of the castle would once again spend Christmas and New Years in Dammarie-les-Lys, and that the program would last “13 to 14 weeks“.
Who makes up the teaching staff?
Exit Adeline Toniutti for singing, Pierre de Brauer for theater, “Coach Joe” for sport and Cécile Chaduteau for stage expression. They are respectively replaced by the teacher and lyrical singer Sofia Morgavi, the host, actor and Belgian improvisation pro Hugues Hamelynck, the athlete Ladji Doucouré, and Marlène Schaff, whom viewers know well since she made the students rehearse with Lucie Bernardoni before each bonus the previous two seasons. Only the latter and Malika Benjelloun (dance teacher since last season) remain in their place with the director, Michael Goldman. Lucie Bernardoni will be helped this year by vocal coach and singer Fanny Delaigue for the prime rehearsals.

Who will be the godmother of the show?
According to one of the show’s producers, Mathieu Vergne, the godmother of the previous edition, Vitaa, “set the bar high“in terms of”implication” among the students. And it is the singer Clara Luciani who will succeed her this year. “We left with the same involvement with Clara Luciani“, assured the founder of DMLS TV. The singer-songwriter will be present during the 1st prime but she will also return for a special week at the castle during which she will participate in the debrief of the prime, in the evaluations, and she will also make the choice of programming for the next bonus (guests, duets, solos, etc.).
What changes in the mechanics of the program?
If the bases do not move (3 named each week and 1 eliminated on the prime), the ranking of the students after the evaluations will no longer be revealed on the prime but at the castle every Thursday. The first three will then have to face each other in a battle on the prime and the one who has convinced the teachers the most will be immunized and will not be able to be named the following week. However, he will participate in the evaluations the following week to try to stay in the Top 3 and benefit from new immunity.
Also on the menu for this new season, the “teachers’ challenge”. Each week, Michael Goldman and one of the teachers will work to offer a challenge to a student. “It will either be a validation of acquired knowledge or a difficulty“to help the student progress, explained Mathieu Vergne to the press. This challenge could relate to singing, dancing and even theater.”We have lots of ideas to perhaps also do more theater on bonuses“, he added. Concretely, the director and the teacher in question will see the student concerned every Wednesday after the announcement of the nominees and will start working on this “challenge” until the evening of the prime.
Another new feature is the arrival of “exceptional teachers”. Mathieu Vergne announced a new role for artists who would like to get involved with students. These “exceptional teachers will be several and will come several times to the castle: for a debrief, during the week to give a lesson or share a moment with the students, and on the bonus“, explained the producer. Two first names were thus revealed: Julien Doré and Lara Fabian, who will occupy this role at one point in the season.

What new developments at the castle?
As before each new season, the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys has been completely redecorated. In addition to this new atmosphere given to their new “home”, the students will discover two new places. The “foyer”, which will welcome the students”to play music, sing, practice… It’s a kind of link between classes and castle life“, indicated Jean-Louis Blot, president of Endemol France, which also produces the show. This room, where we find several musical instruments (piano, drums, guitars, etc.) as well as poufs and sofas, will also serve as a meeting place for students who want to relax in a cozy place. Finally, the singing room has changed location and has even been entirely created for this new season. theater.
