TF1 changed the habits of Koh-Lanta fans. The channel will only offer one season of adventure games this year.
“There is no shooting for the new season at this time and therefore there will be no second season of ‘Koh-Lanta’ at the start of the school year”, Xavier Gandon, director of TV and digital antennas of the group TF1 told Puremedias.com.
The frequency with which the seasons are so close appears to have affected the show’s viewership, with nearly a million viewers split between the first episode of “Cursed Totem”, which aired on February 22, attracting 4.5 million people, or 20.2% of the audience. share and launch of “La Légende”, on August 24, 2021, which garnered 5.6 million views, or 29.3% of PDA .
Scandals, such as around fraud that affected the image of the event, certainly did not help the situation. This change in frequency isn’t the first upheaval in fan habits either, and it’s probably the channel that will fix it either.
Tuesday not allowed
The programming of the last two seasons of “Koh-Lanta” on Tuesday night instead of the traditional Friday was not welcomed by regulars, the episodes continued into the wee hours of the night. Friday huts allow you to sleep the next day.
The longer downtime between the two seasons decided by TF1 should also allow the channel to review its broadcast box. “We saw with ‘Une famille en or’, that the program flow sequence after ‘Koh-Lanta’ went well. That said, Tuesday night slots aren’t necessarily meant to remain streaming programming slots. That will depend on the American series bid. We will be pragmatic,” added Xavier Gandon. So will Koh-Lanta find him on Friday? We’ll have to wait to find out.
