Hard blow for the teams of France has an Incredible Talent, another hard blow for M6. Filming for the new season was scheduled to start Tuesday evening, but everything was canceled during the day. The health protocol that had been put in place by the production made it possible to detect a case of Covid-19 and according to Le Parisien , it is one of the four jurors who is affected. It would therefore be Hélène Ségara, Sugar Sammy, Eric Antoine or Marianne James, because all are back for a third season.
M6 and producer Fremantle announced in the wake that they had decided to postpone the shootings, because there is no question for them to endanger the teams, the candidates or the public.

However, precautions had been taken to avoid this type of incident: all the candidates had undergone a PCR test, as had the facilitators, the jurors and the technical teams. The production had also decided to reduce the audience to only 200 people, instead of the usual 700. And all spectators had to be masked.

The sequence of events is very unclear because we will have to wait before redoing the tests, hoping that the disease has not spread. In his press release, Fremantle announced that he was following all the medical recommendations required to be able to resume filming as soon as possible. This is a new blow for M6 since three weeks ago, the shooting of the Best pastry chef had also been interrupted after the detection of several cases of Covid-19.
