Return of "An intimate ambition", new culinary and real estate programs, societal fictions ... M6 unveiled Tuesday its schedule for the 2021-2022 season, relying on its sure values to keep its third place in terms of audiences.
With its best season for four years, with 9.4% audience share recorded from September 2020 to June 2021, up 0.4 point compared to 2019-2020, M6 has returned to France 3.
To stay on the podium, and pending a possible merger of the M6 and TF1 groups, it is once again focusing its comeback on entertainment and magazines embodied by its emblematic personalities.
This presidential year will mark the return of the program "Une ambition intime".
After having collected the confidences of candidates for the 2017 election, then those of celebrities, Karine Le Marchand will this time follow five women politicians in their daily life: Valérie Pécresse, Rachida Dati, Anne Hidalgo, Marine Le Pen - for the second time - and Marlène Schiappa.
Another pillar of the chain, Stéphane Plaza will host a new program, "Tout changer ou déménager", where families will have to choose between fitting out their home or buying a new home.
On a similar theme, the Youtuber craftsman Laurent Jacquet will come to the aid of amateur handymen in difficulty in "Renovation mission: my house is a building site".
M6 will also offer a new culinary game adapted from a British format, "Snack Masters", where two great chefs will try to reproduce identically famous products (burgers, chocolate bars ...) with secret recipes.
Enough to strengthen the niche already invested by "The Best Pastry Chef" or "Top Chef", whose jury will welcome this year the youngest 3-star chef in France, Glenn Viel, replacing Michel Sarran.
On the fictional side, women and societal themes such as domestic violence will be in the spotlight with the TV films "A la folie" and "She saved me", or the series "Sauver Lisa", adapted from the Japanese "Mother" on the child abuse.
Co-broadcaster like TF1 of the French football team, M6 also relies on the Blues' qualification campaign for the 2022 World Cup and on the Nations League, of which it will broadcast the final.
