With the help of our "production support" team, Maria Moutot and Aude Lemercier ensured the location scouting for this third season, where the rise of the extreme right pushes Philippe Rickwaert (Kad Merad) to become a rallying spokesman for all the lefties and run to become the president of France.
The series, which has been based on hyper-realism since the first season, was filmed at the Elysée Palace and in major institutions such as the Council of State and the Matignon estate. In Paris Region, the filming was conducted in the cities of Paris, Versailles, Gentilly, Gagny, Montigny-le-Bretonneux and Boulogne-Billancourt.

Broadcast on Canal + since February 10, 2020, the series directed by Thomas Bourguignon, the producer and co-director with Antoine Chevrollier, called upon Secoya eco-tournage for help with the production of season 3. An eco-responsible commitment that allowed his production company Kwai to receive the ecobonus from the Paris Region, in addition to its Audiovisual Support Fund.
