The crow and the star

Camille Combal remains in the animation, just like the investigators Anggun, Jarry, Alessandra Sublet and Kev Adams.

It is on stage that the innovations multiply to surprise the public, according to the director of the programs of flow of TF1 Rémi Faure.

"In particular, we will have a double candidate," he explains.

"They can be a duo in the city or on the stage, two members of the same family .... In any case, they are two people that we know together. They will wear the costumes of the parrots and, of course, will unmask together. "

The most anticipated surprise of this season 2 is the presence of an international mystery star.

"It will be there from the second prime-time and will unmask at the end of the show," reveals Rémi Faure.

"Investigators and viewers will therefore have only one evening to guess who it is. Another novelty: we will have the character of the raven, who will arrive from the third prime. He will not be unmasked, but he will know all the secrets and will divulge a few as the season progresses. "

Make it more beautiful and faster

TF1 has also worked a lot on the staging, with more technology, screens on the ground, 3D and trompe-l'oeil.

And the surveys will also be made a bit simpler.

"The indices of the magnetos will be more concrete," abounds Alessandra Sublet.

This, according to her, is one of the tweaks that makes this second season better than the first.

For investigator Alessandra Sublet, one of the new features is also the faster pace of the show.

"By bringing out two candidates masked by prime, we accelerate the pace. Viewers will not be bored, even those who quickly guess who is under the mask. And the bounty with the international star makes that we really want to watch the show until the end. "
