Can you believe it's been 31 years since L'Instit first aired?! (31 years, 9 months, 5 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did L'Instit end?
When L'Instit came to an end after 12 years in January 2005, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Victor Novak (Gérard Klein). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a L'Instit reunion disappoint people?
L'Instit aired from 1993-2005 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 Klein said he's not sure if L'Instit would work today. “I don't want to see old Victor Novak,” he told a journalist (Klein turned 82 in October). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a L'Instit movie?
In a recent interview, Robinson Stévenin (who played Guillaume) said he can't imagine a L'Instit 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 Gérard Klein 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 L'Instit movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
What about a L'Instit reboot?
Recasting L'Instit 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 L'Instit reunion, a L'Instit movie, or a L'Instit reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
