Contacted by The crossthe France Télévisions group did not confirm the information and did not wish to make further comments.
The series, broadcast Monday to Friday at 8:20 p.m., depicts the daily life of the inhabitants of Mistral, a fictional district of Marseille strongly inspired by the Panier. At launch on August 30, 2004, France 3’s aim was to attract younger audiences while continuing to appeal to older ones.

The bet is successful. The series seduces by sticking to the news with the first gay marriage on French television or, more recently, with the subject of transidentity for which it had a transgender actor play. Many social issues (alcoholism, racism, homophobia) are thus integrated into the plots, even the most burning ones. In July 2019, a feminist collective had notably seized the CSA following an episode in which a character called on a surrogate mother in the United Kingdom.
Competition from new daily soap operas

” My heart is broken “
Strong competition is not the only reason for the discontinuation of More beautiful life by France Televisions. With a budget of 30 million euros per year, or €115,000 per episode, the series is one of the most expensive programs on the air. Without the necessary hearings, the management obviously felt that such a cost was no longer justified.
If the judgment has not been officially confirmed, the announcement caused a lot of reaction on Twitter and social networks: “My heart is broken”, “tell me it’s a joke”, “it’s worse than a breakup”, “my childhood is broken”…
