Maison de Retraite, the series is a French comedy consisting of 6 episodes, each lasting 52 minutes. It premieres on Monday, March 9, 2026, on TF1 and will be available on TF1+. Created by Élodie Hesme, Kev Adams, and Alice Van Den Broek, with scripts by Hesme, Eve-Sophie Santerre, Alice Van Den Broek, and Kev Adams, the series is co-directed by Claude Zidi Jr and Adams himself. Produced by MY FAMILY in partnership with THE MAN, TF1, and in collaboration with Netflix, the show features talents such as Stéfi Celma, Jarry, Daniel Prévost, Chantal Ladesou, along with Kev Adams making a special appearance. This new series expands the universe of the film trilogy Maison de Retraite and Maison de Retraite 2.
At the Lino Vartan care home, a lively retirement facility for seniors, the arrival of teenagers serving community service sentences upsets an already delicate balance. The initiative, designed as a multigenerational project, faces immediate resistance from residents who are reluctant to share their daily lives with young offenders. Tensions rise, misunderstandings multiply, exposing rifts but also surprising similarities between two generations that seem worlds apart.
When Milann is questioned by the police and placed in custody, he entrusts the management of the shelter to Adèle, a dedicated caregiver already strained by a complicated breakup and the pressures of her professional environment. Adding to this internal crisis is an external threat: the sudden removal of regional funding. As Alban aims to take over as director, Adèle must hold things together in an increasingly volatile situation, with the very future of the facility hanging in the balance.
The official trailer will be added as soon as TF1 releases it.
Building on the two films released in 2022 and 2024, the series forms part of a broader strategy to expand the franchise of this popular French comedy. The move to a 52-minute format allows for deeper exploration of secondary characters and the development of story arcs centered around the residents, played by familiar faces such as Daniel Prévost, Chantal Ladesou, Liliane Rovère, and Michel Jonasz. The production brings together MY FAMILY and THE MAN, with Elisa Soussan and Kev Adams producing, in co-production with TF1 and in partnership with Netflix, according to information provided by the network.
The series preserves the ensemble comedy spirit of the feature films while emphasizing a more serialized storytelling approach. It explores themes such as aging, legado transmission, and intergenerational solidarity with a tone that's both accessible and engaging, blending humorous situations with current social issues. Following the tradition of French comedies focused on communal living, it aims to appeal to family audiences and fans of the original movies, all while expanding the universe of the Lino Vartan household into a broader, more expansive series narrative.
