On the menu of the media newspaper this Wednesday: Alain Chabat finds Asterix on Netflix, Canal + retains the broadcast of the Top 14 and the uncertainties of TF1 100 days before the Euro football because of the Covid-19.

Alain Chabat will again adapt an Asterix album

19 years ago, he had already produced

Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra

, with 14.6 million admissions.

The film was the fourth most viewed French film in theaters.

And soon, it will be

The Battle of the Chiefs

but will not be a film.

It will be an animated series for Netflix with a release scheduled for 2023. Animation is a first for Alain Chabat but not for the platform which is investing more and more in this area.

We spoke to you a few days ago about the adaptation of Terminator.

Other ongoing projects announced last month: Lara Croft and King Kong will also have their animated series.

 Canal + keeps broadcasting of the French rugby championship

The encrypted channel will remain the only Top 14 broadcaster until 2027, we learned on Tuesday evening.

The sanitary conditions have not yet been detailed by UEFA.

They should be next month.

All this has direct consequences for TF1, one of the two broadcasters in France with M6.

The channel moves forward in the fog.

No details for the moment on the team of consultants who will cover the Euro.

On the other hand, the chain promises magazines at the end of the matches.

And the men's Euro is not the only one to be shifted.

The women's Euro too.

It is postponed until next year when it was supposed to take place this summer.

A competition whose rights were partly purchased by TF1 with 14 matches.
