Season 4 of Baron Noir, crossed with La Fièvre, has started filming

Nina Meurisse arrives at the Elysée to advise Kad Merad, back as Philippe Rickwaert becomes President!

Back in the corridors of power. With a new guest who has a fever…

Filming for season 4 of Baron Noir is officially underway. Canal+ is relaunching its most explosive political Original Creation with this title: Baron Noir season 4 – Les Événements, with a clear promise: to bring the series into a new era, at the crossroads of political crisis, communication war and digital divides.

Moreover, Kad Merad will make his return as Philippe Rickwaert, a battered figure, a former strategist who became President of the Republic, while Nina Meurisse takes over the role of Sam Berger from the series La Fièvre, now propelled as a spin doctor at the Élysée. Two intersecting trajectories:

“Communications advisor, Sam Berger is recruited at the Élysée as a spin doctor for the President of the Republic Philippe Rickwaert, who is facing an unprecedented political crisis. While the fever of radicalism flourishes on social networks, the Tech giants seek to impose their algorithmic model and find a strong ally in Marie Kinsky, neo-conservative strategist and sworn enemy of Sam. In a polarized France, Rickwaert, who has become the shadow of himself, must find a way out to reconcile a nation on the verge of rupture” details the synopsis.

Around them, a solid cast densifies the chaos: Ana Girardot, François Morel, Patrick Mille, Rachida Brakni, Xavier Robic, Astrid Whetnall and Grégoire Bonnet.

Filming started between Lille, Paris and Brussels.

Written by Éric Benzekri, in collaboration with Anthony Gizel and Laure Chichmanov, directed by Yan England, this new season is produced by Quad+Ten and Léon Productions, with the collaboration of Kwaï (Fremantle). On the production side, Nicolas Duval-Adassovsky is in charge, with Hervé Ruet as executive producer.

The season will be made up of six 52-minute episodes. No release date yet.
