Can you believe it's been 23 years since Famille d'accueil first aired?! (23 years, 7 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Famille d'accueil end?
When Famille d'accueil came to an end after 15 years in April 2016, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Marion Ferrière (Virginie Lemoine). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Famille d'accueil reunion disappoint people?
Famille d'accueil aired from 2001-2016 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Lemoine said she's not sure if Famille d'accueil would work today. “I don't want to see old Marion Ferrière,” she told a journalist (Lemoine turned 63 in February). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Famille d'accueil movie?
In a recent interview, Virginie Lemoine said she can't imagine a Famille d'accueil reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Christine Boisson (who played Marie-Claire since 2013) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Famille d'accueil movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Famille d'accueil film, Firmine Richard stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Famille d'accueil reboot?
Recasting Famille d'accueil for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Famille d'accueil reunion, a Famille d'accueil movie, or a Famille d'accueil reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
