Les Invisibles: Season 3 of the crime series returns to France 2

The team tasked with giving identity to anonymous victims is back in action. The saison 3 des Invisibles is rerun on France 2 starting Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. This third batch of six episodes, originally aired in 2023, reunites Guillaume Cramoisan, Nathalie Cerda, Déborah Krey, Quentin Faure and Cécile Rebboah in a case that directly touches on Darius's past.

Premiered on France 2 in 2021, Les Invisibles follows a squad specializing in cases involving bodies that are impossible to identify. Darius and his team have seven days to uncover the identities of these victims whom no one seems to be looking for, in order to then understand the circumstances surrounding their deaths.

Season 3 picks up after the events that shook the squad at the end of the previous season. Following the failure of Operation Fontana, the Invisibles team has been disbanded. Ben now works out at the police station gym, Duchesse has joined Chistera's unit, and Marijo must come to terms with retirement. Darius, meanwhile, has retreated to his country house.

A discovery will once again bring the police back together. The body of an unidentified priest is found, along with a small doll bearing traces of Darius's DNA. The commander finds himself directly linked to a victim he says he doesn’t know. The case gradually pulls Ben, Duchess, and Marijo back around their former boss and opens an inquiry that now reaches into his personal history.

Guillaume Cramoisan resumes his role as Commander Gabriel Darius, flanked by Nathalie Cerda as Marijo, Déborah Krey as the Duchess, and Quentin Faure, seen recently in Novembre as Ben. Cécile Rebboah, who has also appeared in Addict and Marianne, reprises her character Angie, the medical examiner.

This third season comprises six episodes: Cassel, split into two parts, followed by Vauban, Camélia, Stardust and Fleur. While each investigation stays true to the show's core premise, the opening case threads a more personal arc for Darius and his past.

The Invisibles is produced by Storia Television, the same outfit behind The Crimson Rivers. The series grew out of an idea by Olivier Norek, a crime novelist and former police lieutenant. In 2022, at Séries Mania, it earned the Vidocq Award for Best Crime Series, bestowed by professionals from internal security.

Originally slated for France 2 in autumn 2023, the third season of The Invisibles is set to return to television on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. on France 2.
