Cocorico! This is a French series that we didn’t expect but which still managed to create an event with an astonishing viewing record…
It is in the heart of Occitania that the series of the moment that is causing a sensation is located. Since May 31, France.tv, the free streaming platform of France Télévisions, has put the series online Bugarach. This fantasy fiction in eight episodes follows Émilie (Marilyn Lima), a student who tries to elucidate the sudden disappearance of her father after a helicopter accident on Mount Bugarach. Soon, she and her friends will glimpse the possibility of worlds they never imagined. And France Télévisions did not need to heavily promote this new series for it to be a great success.
Bugarach on France.tv: a record audience for a streaming series
In less than two months, the series Bugarach already has 723,000 views, and becomes the most watched digital fiction on the streaming platform. Such a success that the series, which was only to be broadcast on France.tv, has just been scheduled to air on France 3 this summer. “HAS TV as on the platform france.tvwe produce and broadcast programs so that they are seen, so that they meet their audience… That’s how proud we are to see that the Bugarach series, carried by France 3 Occitanie, is a success!” notes Fabrice Valéry, antennas and content delegate for France 3 Occitanie. “But it’s no coincidence: with an excellently crafted script, a talented director, a committed production, a motivated team and a cast that identified so much with this series, it couldn’t be otherwise. Quite simply: thank you to them and thank you to the public!”
