TF1 is set to premiere its highly anticipated daily soap opera, 'Tout pour la lumière', on June 16, 2025. The series is a musical drama centered around Le Studio Lumière, a prestigious singing and dancing school located in La Ciotat, Bouches-du-Rhône. The plot highlights the dramatic return of the school's director's daughter, who comes back after a 20-year absence triggered by a life-altering accident, during which she enjoyed fame from a hit song.
The cast features a diverse lineup of 26 actors, including known talents such as Joy Esther, recognized for her performances in 'Nos chers voisins' and 'Camping paradis'. Moreover, the series includes several former contestants from 'The Voice', like Vike and Clément Massy, adding star power to the production.
Produced by Studio TF1 in partnership with Netflix, the launch of 'Tout pour la lumière' is part of a strategic approach that sees the first three episodes released on Netflix five days ahead of their airing on TF1. This early availability contributed to the show quickly scaling to become one of Netflix's top five most viewed shows shortly after its release.
The soap will air on weekdays at 6 PM, streaming just before other successful TF1 offerings, including 'Ici tout commence' and 'Demain nous appartient'. This scheduling seeks to leverage the high ratings that these existing series have enjoyed, with 'Demain nous appartient' drawing 1.93 million viewers and 'Ici tout commence' pulling in 1.74 million viewers as of June 13, 2025.
The launch of 'Tout pour la lumière' marks a significant expansion of TF1’s daily soap opera lineup, as the network looks to engage viewers with compelling narratives and a fresh cast, building on its past successes in daytime television.
