B.R.I. Returns to Canal+ With Single-Arc Season 2 Focused on a Major Drug Case

Canal+ is positioning the drama as a continuing franchise pending audience response.

Overview

  • The eight-episode season premieres January 12 on Canal+ with a two-episode prime-time launch before moving to weekly installments.
  • Season 2 shifts to a single long-form investigation in the classic polar tradition, centered on the pursuit of a cocaine trafficker known as Seedorf.
  • Canal+ increased production resources for the new run, with the creator saying nothing scripted was cut despite the network declining to disclose the budget.
  • New faces include Léa Catania as Jill, a top-shot recruit joining the team, and Vincent Perez as a corrupt commissioner, alongside returning leads.
  • The channel is airing a companion documentary about the real BRI while preparing a potential Season 3, with a hoped-for shoot before late 2026 and a target of 18 months between seasons if viewership warrants renewal.
