Alex Hugo La vallée des oubliées France 3 Angelo return, Digi Mart USA News: Lionnel Astier’s return in Alex Hugo begins with a call for help: Angelo asks Alex to find his missing partner. The episode, “La vallée des oubliées,” airs Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 9:10 p.m.
on France 3 and has been available on france.tv since October 29.
In this new episode, Angelo has recently found a woman who matters in his life. When she disappears without a trace, the Grenoble gendarmerie mobilizes, but its searches produce nothing conclusive.
Panicked, he calls Alex for help, a trigger confirmed by the presentations from France Télévisions and france.tv studio.
That call brings the Rurale team back together, but there is a difficulty: the team has no legitimacy to investigate in this area. The situation pushes the characters beyond their usual scope of action, and this gap gives the reunion its police stakes.
Angelo’s distress motivates the intervention, while the lack of local authority complicates the group’s position.
The searches also reveal other unresolved disappearances in the valley, raising the possibility of a serial killer. At this stage of the official presentation, that remains a line of inquiry, with no confirmed identity for any culprit and no confirmation of what happened to those being sought.
Samuel Le Bihan plays Alex and directs the episode, written by Véronique Lecharpy from his original idea. In his statement of intent, he places friendship, justice and freedom at the heart of his approach to the character, and sets the story in the Romanche valley, whose industrial past shapes the project.
The official cast includes Lionnel Astier, Samuel Le Bihan and Fabien Baïardi as Tony Leblanc. Wendy Nieto plays Captain Noémie Lefranc and Henri Giey plays Corporal Joshua Gaubert.
These details confirm the reunion in this episode but do not announce a permanent return for Angelo in the rest of the series.
