End clap for Market after just one season
Last March TF1 launched Marketa detective series in eight episodes, in which Arnaud Ducret played the leading role against Manon Azem. The actor played the character of Thomas Chevalier, a clumsy Parisian “office” cop, who after a slip-up during a heavy-handed intervention, found himself transferred to Marseille, at the head of a group of three cops using unorthodox methods… When season 1 was broadcast, the series attracted an average of around 3.5 million viewers, audiences which did not convince TF1 to renew Mercato for a second season.
