The fifth and final season of the comedy Lion, which will be presented next January on TVA and Club illico, will allow us to get to know certain supporting characters better. The 12 episodes will be both “surprising and festive,” said their creator Fabien Cloutier, who also plays the main character in this touching and funny fiction.
The trailer for the final season, filmed in fall 2022, was unveiled on Tuesday.

Léo (Fabien Cloutier) and Cindy (Marie-Laurence Moreau) with their son Paul (Alexi Robidoux).
“It’s a season that leaves room for several supporting characters. Leo placed well and his girlfriend is doing well. They still have challenges, but more and more people are knocking on his door because Leo is now solid and in life we often turn to people like him who become the crutch of others,” said Fabien Cloutier.
In addition to the characters we already know, viewers will discover Pouliot’s father, played by Michel Barrette, as well as Josée Deschênes and Claude Despins, who immerse themselves in the world of “Léo” for a season themed “New beginnings and life changes”.
We’re talking about couples who come and go, others who explore dating apps or fantasy worlds, and even some who fall into religious delirium. It promises!

The fifth and final season of Léo will air on TVA starting Wednesday, January 10 at 9 p.m. – just before Le Bonheur – and will be available to binge-view on Club illico the same day.
From December 5th we can also see on the Vrai platform the new documentary series Taking Wood, which Fabien Cloutier directs in addition to co-directing and piloting. He is also continuing his Delicate tour.
