Broadcast every Monday since 11 November on TF1, the eight episodes of the first season could give rise to a second instalment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For 40 years, Tsukasa H\u00f4j\u00f4&#8217;s manga and cartoon Cat&#8217;s Eyes have galvanised the whole world. Building on this history, Big Band Story has co-produced the series for TF1, in association with Prime Video and ZDF, and with the participation of Newen Connect, Radio T\u00e9l\u00e9vision Suisse (RTS) and RTL tvi. Directed by Alexandre Laurent (Les Combattantes, Le Bazar de la Charit\u00e9), this new version of Cat&#8217;s Eyes has become the most expensive series in TF1&#8217;s history, with a budget of 25 million euros. And the investment seems to have paid off.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Adventure in Paris<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The series traces the origins of Cat&#8217;s Eyes. The <strong>three Chamade sisters<\/strong>, Alexia (played by Claire Romain), Tamara (Camille Lou) and Sylia (Constance Labb\u00e9), reunite after years apart. In 2023, in Paris, a work that belonged to their father, who died ten years earlier in a mysterious fire at his art gallery, resurfaces at an exhibition at the Eiffel Tower. To find out what really happened to him, the siblings improvise as burglars to steal the work that could answer their questions. BRB captain Quentin Chapuis (played by MB14) sets out to arrest them, unaware that one of the sisters is his long-time love, Tamara.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDeRDQhtZQD\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">Voir cette publication sur Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDeRDQhtZQD\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Une publication partag\u00e9e par TF1+ (@tf1plus)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A mix of action, romance and comedy<\/strong>, the series uses a variety of genres to appeal to the widest possible audience. Cat&#8217;s Eyes takes viewers on a journey through Paris, from the Louvre to the Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles, via the Monnaie de Paris, the Mus\u00e9e Guimet, the banks of the Seine, Montmartre and the restaurant Le Petit Mazarin. Far from the glamorous and luxurious world of the Emily in Paris series, which offered a watered-down image of the capital, the City of Light here stands as a playground for adventure. In the wake of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this showcase for France&#8217;s heritage and art de vivre continues to raise the city&#8217;s profile, both in France and abroad (the series is broadcast in Switzerland and Belgium).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To further enhance its image, Cat&#8217;s Eyes has been able to count on the support of L&#8217;Or\u00e9al Paris, the series&#8217; official make-up artist. With both brands promoting values of power and femininity, the beauty house was involved in the overall thinking behind the characters&#8217; hairstyles and make-up, as well as providing artistic advice throughout the production. The brand took the title of the series and unveiled cat-eye beauty looks, with a feline and enigmatic gaze, the symbol of an assumed femininity. L&#8217;Or\u00e9al Paris reinforced its contribution with a campaign featuring Camille Lou and Cindy Bruna, and highlighted the products used in the series on its website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27533\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27533\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vignette-16-9_catseyes_camille-spot_v2-b3d1d0-be5f1f-0@3x.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vignette-16-9_catseyes_camille-spot_v2-b3d1d0-be5f1f-0@3x.jpg 990w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vignette-16-9_catseyes_camille-spot_v2-b3d1d0-be5f1f-0@3x-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vignette-16-9_catseyes_camille-spot_v2-b3d1d0-be5f1f-0@3x-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vignette-16-9_catseyes_camille-spot_v2-b3d1d0-be5f1f-0@3x-60x34.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Cat&#8217;s Eyes &#8211; TF1 x L&#8217;Or\u00e9al Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>An average audience of 4.02 million viewers<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the series came to an end on Monday 9 December, it was time to take stock. According to the figures reported by PureM\u00e9dias, the series got off to a great start, attracting <strong>5.12 million viewers<\/strong> (23.6% of the public and 38.6% of FRDA-50 (women responsible for purchases aged under 50)) for the first episode, then just over 4 million for the second episode. The final episode drew 3.92 million viewers, or 18.9% of viewers aged four and over and 32.8% of FRDA-50 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On average, the episodes were watched by 4.02 million viewers, 21.3% of the general public and 34.1% of FRDA-50. A lower score than the Broc\u00e9liande series (4.40 million viewers on average over six episodes), but still very respectable. Especially as Cat&#8217;s Eyes was broadcast at the same time as the ultra-popular programme L&#8217;Amour est dans le Pr\u00e9 on M6.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of the series and its solid ratings should encourage TF1 to continue with the opus. Although the channel has not yet officially ordered a season 2, the producers seem keen to extend the experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/en\/the-menendez-brothers-the-legal-story-that-continues-to-enthrall-the-public\/\">The Menendez brothers: the court case that continues to thrill audiences<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured photo: \u00a9 Cat&#8217;s Eyes &#8211; Big Band Story &#8211; TF1<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adapted from the 80s manga, the series Cat&#8217;s Eyes has won over French audiences.
