"Fort Boyard": for Olivier Minne's final season, cells and cult characters are back
France 2's summer show is reinventing itself for its 36th edition, launching this Saturday. Historical events, new characters, and new mechanics: the fort is being transformed to welcome Olivier Minne one last time before his departure for M6.
By Marianne ChenouSometimes, novelty lies in returning to the roots. For its 36th season on air, "Fort Boyard" returns to the "origins" of the program starting this Saturday, July 5 at 9:05 p.m. on France 2. With the return of cult cells, emblematic characters and a change of mechanics on the tests, the summer show on La Deux has planned something to dust off the house of Father Fouras , for what will be Olivier Minne's last lap . The 58-year-old presenter is leaving the Fort at the end of the summer to join the M6 channel , a shake-up for the man who has been the master of the place since 2003.
Before his farewell, there remains a whole season to discover with, as every year , its share of changes: already, entering the fort is no longer a formality. We are reconnecting with the ephemeral ordeal of the opening, which dates back to 2002.
