L'Éclipse, a French crime miniseries led by Claire Keim and Anne Charrier, airs on France 2 on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. This six-episode drama plunges viewers into the heart of Aubrac, where the disappearance of a teenage girl unearths the secrets of a rural community.
On the Aubrac plateau, the village of Bozouls marks an eclipse as tragedy unfolds. Luca, 17, accidentally shoots his girlfriend Nour with his mother’s service pistol, the gendarme Manue Vitali. He sets out to fetch help, only to return and find that Nour has disappeared.
Manue and her colleague Johanna Croiset, also a police officer and mother of one of the teens involved, launch an investigation that quickly goes beyond a mere incident. As the probe unfolds, the two women uncover local feuds, conflicts of interest, and family secrets roiling a farming community grappling with the changes sweeping rural life. The case soon puts their own loved ones in danger.
The cast brings together Anne Charrier (Manue Vitali), Claire Keim (Johanna Croiset), Hubert Delattre, Victor Poirier, Aymeric Fougeron, Armelle Deutsch, Thomas Jouannet, Justine Lacroix and Valentin Campagne. The series is created by Hélène Duchateau and Baptiste Filleul, and directed by Franck Brett.
Designed as a six-episode miniseries, L'Éclipse blends crime investigation with a family drama. Its plot hinges as much on Nour's disappearance as on the tangled ties among the village inhabitants, set against a backdrop of expansive natural scenery. Premiered in 2024 on France 2, the fiction is conceived as a self-contained narrative, with no sequel announced.
The rebroadcast of Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. on France 2 lets you (re)discover the first two episodes. The series is also available on demand on the france.tv platform after it airs.
