France 2 Pushes 'Intervilles' Return to 2027 Over Budget Strain

Budget cuts at France Télévisions push the ratings hit to 2027.

Overview

  • France Télévisions confirmed the game show will not air on France 2 in summer 2026 and will instead return in 2027.
  • The broadcaster cited a tighter budget for the delay, and Ouest-France reports it must save about €150 million this year after lower public funding.
  • France 2 had ordered new episodes in July 2025 following the show’s successful relaunch the previous summer.
  • Production teams said host cities and sets were ready, and presenter-producer Nagui said he understands the finances but is disappointed for crews who prepared season two.
  • The 2025 run drew strong audiences, averaging about 2.7 million viewers with a 3.4 million premiere, and featured Nagui with Bruno Guillon, Valérie Bègue, Camille Cerf, Magali Ripoll and Yoann Riou.
