“The question of the separation of Marc and Julie will also be addressed there.

(Just to entertain), to create the series.

This new season will, however, have more “fiction” than the first season.

“For season 2, there are a lot of starting lines that start from our story, on the other hand I gave myself more freedom in the fiction. There are interpersonal relationships that do not exist and moments that are drawn from the imagination,” warned the comedian who performed as the opening act for the French comedian Jarry, at the Olympia in Paris, a few weeks ago.

“We also have an episode which is very confronting in relation to the reactions that people can have and the way they sometimes act towards a disability or difference. It’s not something that happened to us, but it’s a message that I wanted to pass on to all those who don’t understand or who sometimes react badly or without really understanding the consequences of their words and actions. “, she continued, emphasizing that her stepson did not have the ability to defend himself or express himself.

This second part ofAbout Antoine will also see new characters appear in Antoine’s life. In particular, we will get to know Julie’s mother, with whom the latter will take refuge after her breakup with Marc (Claude Legault).

“Julie is in a state of mind where she has just left Marc. She’s not so sure what she’s doing. She is heartbroken. His mother is happy, welcoming. She only wants the best for her daughter and Julie is a little exasperated because she has too much going on to manage that, but it’s still a beautiful mother-daughter relationship,” she said.

As for Patrick (Sylvain Marcel), Marc’s brother, he should be a little more present in season 2.
