TF1 presents the pilot episode of its new crime series Un meurtre (presque) parfait (An (Almost) Perfect Murder), directed by Christophe Douchand and written by Eliane Montane and Elsa Mané. This two-part, 45-minute TV movie brings together Claire Keim and Clémence Lassalas in a female duo that is both funny and insightful. Scheduled to air on Monday, November 3, 2025, at 9:10 p.m.
A successful novelist and self-proclaimed expert on the perfect crime, Laure Mondo (Claire Keim) lives her life with elegance, irony, and an unapologetic taste for mystery. Her young assistant Pica (Clémence Lassalas), spontaneous and clumsy, accompanies her in her cynical and theatrical world. Their daily lives are turned upside down when a wealthy industrialist is found dead in the swimming pool of his Corsican villa. The case is classified as an accident, but Laure immediately sees it as material for her next novel—and a very real crime.
With literary intuition and the flair of improvised investigators, the duo embarks on an investigation full of twists and turns, where humor and tension intertwine. Together, they will uncover the secrets of an influential family while testing the limits of their complicity.
The official trailer will be added as soon as it is posted online by TF1.
Produced by Escazal Films and co-produced with TF1, the drama boasts a prestigious cast: Marie-Anne Chazel, Lionnel Astier, Stanley Weber, Charlotte Des Georges, Nicolas Briançon, Benoît Moret, Dorcas Coppin, and Esteban. This pilot, subtitled Pour le meilleur et pour le pire(For Better or Worse), kicks off a collection of crime comedies combining the spirit of Agatha Christie with a contemporary tone.
Suitable for all audiences, the series is aimed at fans of light crime thrillers, eccentric characters, and investigations that are both classic and witty.
