Alex Hugo Returns on France 3 With Tense New Mystery “La chute d’Icare”

Alex Hugo episode La chute d’Icare, Digi Mart USA News: After the record audience for the previous episode, La Vallée des oubliées, which marked Samuel Le Bihan’s first time behind the camera and his reunion with Lionnel Astier, drawing 5.38 million viewers on Tuesday, November 3, a new investigation of the mountain police series airs Tuesday, November 10, on France 3.

The death of a hiker on a zip line, the flagship attraction of a local tourism project, forces the rural police officer to work with Lusagne’s new mayor, Anouk Féral. The case unfolds in the shadow of the peaks.

Under the guidance of a guide, four hikers prepare to cross a zip line 60 meters above a river. The first participant completes the crossing without difficulty.

Then Justine, 35, fastens her harness on the starting platform, launches herself over the void at full speed, and suddenly falls. Her body crashes into the ground below.

Accident or criminal act? An unusual investigation begins for Alex Hugo.

The opening scene, a deadly fall above a torrent, sets the tone. Dark and carefully constructed, the layered plot lives up to its promise.

Samuel Le Bihan is convincing, supported by Fabien Baïardi and Mikaël Fitoussi. Beyond building real dramatic tension, the episode addresses the excesses of tourism development in the mountains.

After this second new episode of season 11, France 3 will rebroadcast Alex Hugo on Tuesday, November 17, with La forêt des assassins, the season’s first episode. Another rebroadcast is scheduled for Tuesday, November 24, at 9:10 p.m., before the series gives way to the return of Tom et Lola.

Will Lionnel Astier return to Alex Hugo again? Last Tuesday’s new episode, directed by Samuel Le Bihan, marked Astier’s grand return, reuniting the hero with his old colleague Angelo Batalla, the rural police chief who retired in 2023 in the episode Dernière piste.

Le Bihan said that a further return is “not planned for the moment.” Astier, however, said the door is far from closed: “It would be with pleasure. I didn’t leave the series over a disagreement, but because we were making four episodes a year.

Doing one from time to time, yes, with pleasure!”
