Did you know? Secret Story 2024 is being filmed in Poissy. What does this season have in store for us?

After a 7-year hiatus, "Secret Story", TF1's famous reality TV game show, is back for a 12th season with a fresh approach, ready to captivate us from this Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 11:30pm. The House of Secrets is now in Poissy, in the Yvelines region of France, and we tell you all about it.

Ici la Voix, Secret Story is set to hit your screens tonight on TF1 at 11:30pm! The new season takes place in Poissy, in a refurbished warehouse in the Technoparc business park. That's all for now!

Former hit shows are reborn like phoenixes. Like Star Academy, it's Secret Story's turn to make a comeback on our TV screens. And this 2024 season will be unlike any other! Completely redesigned to move away from reality TV and focus more on the game, this new-generation version may well surprise us all.

Innovative decor and revised rules

The adaptation of the "Secret Story" format seems to be TF1's strategic response to the public's changing perception of reality TV. Far from the antics and scandals of the first editions, this season promises a dynamic more focused on the game and intellectual strategies. Endemol France, the production company, has transformed the warehouse into a veritable labyrinth of secrets, with challenges hidden in every room, promising an immersive experience for players and viewers alike.

The program will be broadcast on TF1 Monday to Friday at 5:30pm, Friday at 8pm, and Saturday at 5:15pm, as well as on TFX. Each Friday, the eliminated contestant will join Christophe Beaugrand live on TF1 to discuss his or her experience.

Local impacts and adjustments

The production is not without effect on the locality, Actu.fr informs us. The town of Achères, next door to Poissy, has already warned its residents of the potential noise nuisance, particularly during the show's major events scheduled for the launch, final and rehearsal sessions. This new facility in Poissy and the accompanying measures demonstrate the production company's commitment to minimizing inconvenience while boosting the region's economy.

Towards a safer, more family-friendly version

The new positioning of"Secret Story" aims to make the program compatible with family values, in reaction to the criticism often levelled at reality TV for its lack of depth and sensationalism. Rémi Faure, TF1's Director of Flow Programs, and Julien Degroote, Director of Development and Creation, have clearly stated their intention to purify the show's image, focusing on puzzles and games that entertain while respecting an ethos of "benevolence".

In short, will this season of "Secret Story" win your votes while keeping long-time fans happy? Watch TV tonight to find out. The games begin on April 23, with the promise of well-kept secrets and intriguing, even crunchy, strategies.
