- The Star Academy , which was the heyday of TF1 in early 2000, could make a comeback.
- The production company Endemol Shine is considering "a new generation" of the program for broadcast in 2021.
International stars jostling on the set, hymns that we remember years later, apprentice singers not always in focus, that's what made the charm of the Star Academy from 2001 to 2008 on TF1. Since the end of April, those nostalgic for this period can find the bonuses of the very first season of the song contest on YouTube ... Before the big return of the show on television? According to information from the Parisian, the program that saw the birth of Jenifer, Nolwenn Leroy, Elodie Frégé and Grégory Lemarchal could be reborn from its ashes.
Vincent Panozzo, director of programs, creation and development for the Endemol Shine group, told our colleagues that the production company was in the midst of thinking about a return to the show. "We are working on different programs around a new generation Star Ac ," he announced. Next year is the anniversary of 20 years, it is celebrated. I am convinced that one day, the show will come back, because it works in cycles. There would always be this learning aspect and also great bonuses with lives . "
Nikos leaving to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show
If the work around a new generation of Star Academy is activated, the format of this return is still a little vague. Will it be an event show to celebrate the 20 years of the program, or a brand new edition? The presenter of the time, Nikos Aliagas, is ready to celebrate the two decades of the show as it should be. “It would be great, a special show with friends in a nostalgic spirit, it would be a lot of fun to see the former candidates and the whole team. There are incredible routes to tell. And I keep an infinite tenderness for Star Ac because it is the most beautiful of schools, "he reveals to the Parisian .
It is not the first time that Star Academy has attempted to renew itself. Four years after the show ended on TF1, NRJ12 had resumed the format to offer a ninth season on its antenna in 2012. This revival had been followed by a little over a million viewers at the time. At the moment, neither the broadcaster nor the precise date of the 2021 version is known.
