Created by Jean-François Porry, Les Mystères de l'Amour returns to TMC with two special episodes airing on December 21 and 28, 2025, at 9:15 p.m. Directed by Henri Hasbani, Philippe Layani, and Michel Brugier, these specials bring together Hélène Rollès, Patrick Puydebat, Elsa Esnoult, Sébastien Roch, and the original cast of "Club Dorothée." Produced by JLA Productions with the participation of TF1, the series continues its exceptional run that began in 2011.
The first special, entitled "Last Christmas," brings all the families together for a Christmas Eve reunion. With the help of Santa Claus, the episode is full of surprises, songs, and choral scenes. The arrival of Monsieur Girard and Annette reactivates the link with the original saga, while several revelations punctuate the interactions between the characters. The story takes the form of a suspended moment, centered on the cohesion of the group and the family dimension of the series.
The second special, "Friends Forever," accompanies the New Year's Eve preparations. The episode marks the first New Year's Eve for Elyon, the child of Fanny and Christian, and is organized around a collective party orchestrated by Hélène and Nicolas. A parallel tension arises with Laly's visions and the return of Peter Watson, this time associated with a mysterious artificial intelligence. This finale combines celebration and concern, marking a transition between the end of one narrative cycle and the beginning of a new chapter.
These two episodes are in keeping with the aesthetic of the series, based on a mix of romantic chronicles, lasting friendships, and serialized intrigue. The directors use the codes that have been established for over a decade: a leisurely pace, alternating between scenes of everyday life and romantic elements, and an emphasis on the collective. The return of historical figures is reminiscent of the serial format that links this chapter to previous iterations of the JLA franchise (Hélène et les Garçons, Le Miracle de l'Amour, Les Vacances de l'Amour).
These bonuses are aimed at an audience loyal to the relationship dynamics and emotional arcs of the series. The tone combines comedy, emotion, and light touches of fantasy, in line with the special episodes already offered during holidays. With more than 58,000 pages of script written by Jean-François Porry and 963 episodes aired, Les Mystères de l'Amour continues to offer a serialized narrative centered on the group, its longevity, and its evolution.
