Is this the beginning of an idyll between them, a relationship? Given that Marie-Anne is in a relationship with Leo’s best friend Maxime (Mathieu Baron) and Leo’s marriage may not be over for good, several questions arise, even though Sara has fallen into the arms of his colleague Laurent (Éric Robidoux). . because Léo wasn’t often at home.

Léo and Marie-Anne know very well that they are in an uncomfortable and delicate situation,” she added, given that Maxime will stay because of his work as an investigator and his friendship with Leo.

Writing for the second season of Indefensible is going well. “We started writing it in November. […] We’ve got more than twenty episodes on the bench and when we start filming at the end of March we’ll have around forty,” said Izabel Chevrier.
