"Les Mystères de l'amour," a long-running French television series, is set to return on the new JLA Play platform. The show, which originally aired on TMC for 14 years before being interrupted in 2025, will be revived through a new smartphone application. According to Jean-Luc Azoulay, head of the JLA group, the app will be available "within a few days." This platform will offer a variety of content, including original series shot in vertical format—similar to the style used on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where videos are optimized for mobile screens. However, the new episodes of "Les Mystères de l'amour," which are already in production, will be filmed in horizontal format, the traditional style used for television and cinema. The vertical format, known as "shortcoms" in some circles, has gained popularity in recent years, especially among younger audiences. Jean-Luc Azoulay, who is known for his enthusiasm for new trends, expressed hope that this new format could bring about a transformation in the way content is created and consumed. He noted that vertical formats often include engaging cliffhangers, which can attract and retain viewer attention effectively. The revival of "Les Mystères de l'amour" comes nearly a year after TF1 and JLA Productions jointly decided to stop broadcasting the show by the end of 2025. At that time, JLA Productions assured fans that the characters—Hélène, Nicolas, Fanny, Christian, and their friends—would be seen again on another channel. The series, starring Hélène Rollès and Patrick Puydebat, is a continuation of the beloved sitcom "Hélène et les Garçons," created by AB Productions in the early 1990s. It was followed by two other series in the same universe: "Le Miracle de l’amour" (1995-1996) and "Les Vacances de l’amour" (1996-2007). Despite its long history, the show's television audience had been declining in recent years. On August 31, 2025, it attracted only about 343,000 viewers, a significant drop from the 922,000 viewers it had in November 2016, according to the media tracking site PureMédias. This decline highlights the challenges faced by long-running series in maintaining viewer interest in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
