France Televisions Unveils Slate Led by ‘La Haine’ Stage Adaptation, #MeToo Film ‘Triple Peine,’ Robust Presidential Election Coverage: ‘Public Service Belongs to No Camp’

Variety · 3 hours ago

France Televisions has unveiled its 2026–2027 programming schedule, anchored by theatrical and original dramatic works intended to reflect contemporary French society. The slate includes a stage adaptation of Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 film 'La Haine,' which examines police violence and racial tensions in Parisian suburbs, alongside 'Triple Peine,' a new drama tracing sexual harassment allegations against a filmmaker before the #MeToo movement gained prominence. The broadcaster will also provide extensive coverage of France's 2027 presidential election.

France Televisions president Delphine Ernotte-Cunci positioned the programming within the organization's public service mission to foster shared cultural experiences during an era of social division and media fragmentation. The broadcaster distributes 500 films without charge annually and maintains partnerships with 200 cultural and music events. Ernotte-Cunci argued that public broadcasting remains essential precisely because audiences increasingly seek unified national experiences and collective viewing opportunities, distinguishing this model from algorithmic, audience-fragmented commercial media consumption.
