Viewers who have a soft spot for the series Red bracelets I will be sorry to learn that the third season currently being filmed will be the very last.
TVA announced Wednesday that next January it will present the ultimate intrigues of Félix, Kevin, Justin, Lou and Margot, young patients who have touched us so much over the past two winters.
The final 12 episodes, two more than the first two seasons, were again written by Michel Brouillette and Stéphanie Perreault, who also star in the series.
Will Felix survive his final operation? FRIENDLY PHOTO
In an interview with QMI Agency, the couple said they were “satisfied” with the channel’s decision to end the series, even though it could have continued. “Because it ends strong,” consoled Ms. Perreault.
“We remain open to doing The Red Bracelets: New Generation in a few years, like they did in France,” Mr. Brouillette added with a smile in his voice.
For this latest version, which will show that “friendship is stronger than anything else”, the authors were not only interested in the “effects of the disease” on those close to them, but also relied entirely on their imagination rather than on themselves To leave inspiration and inspiration adapt the texts of the original version, the Catalan work Polseres vermelles, as they had done in particular in the first season.
Felix between life and death
Two weeks have passed when we find Félix (Anthony Therrien), who is between life and death after another operation at the Hôpital de la Rive. Everyone is worried because the young man needs time to wake up.

Justin (Antoine L’Écuyer), lying immobile in his bed after also going under the knife, has been “doing very badly” since learning of the death of his girlfriend Flavie (Audrey Roger). “He doesn’t want to fight anymore,” the authors revealed.
Kevin (Étienne Galloy) continues his charitable work at the hospital center. He hasn’t finished his stay at the youth center yet.

After being diagnosed with cancer, Margot (Margot Blondin) is released, but Félix’s coma worries her and she wants to wait until he wakes up before returning home.
Lou (Milya Corbeil Gauvreau) fears that bad luck has befallen the red bracelets. She is admitted back to the psychiatric hospital, where she will take a child under her wing.

We won’t see young Albert (Malick Babin) and his mother Anne (Isabelle Blais) again because the writers had to make room for new characters.
Will there be another death among the young patients this season after Kim (Léanne Désilets) and Flavie? “Endings are not always happy in the hospital, but we cannot say today whether any of the characters will die or not,” Ms. Perreault said.

Many talents join the conclusion of the TVA series directed by Louis Choquette and Benoit Pilon. Sara (Laurence Barrette) is a young patient suffering from severe abdominal pain. Simone (Jade Charbonneau), her sister, has a big secret and feels so abandoned that, to the great horror of her parents, played by Daniel Brière and Marie-Hélène Thibault, she falls into drug use and ends up in a psychiatric hospital.
We’ll also meet the Marcotte brothers, namely Thomas (Sam-Éloi Girard), a real daredevil who racks up hospital stays, as well as Zachary (Jayden Boyd), who films their Jackass-style stunts, and the eldest, Maxime (Tom- Eliot Girard), himself an adrenaline junkie.
“Your nonsense will go too far,” said Stéphanie Perreault. Louis-Philippe Dandenault and Anne-Renée Duhaime will play the parents.
Later in the season, Joey (Thomas Delorme), a young rescuer, is admitted to a psychiatric ward due to severe trauma.
Note that Michel Brouillette and Stéphanie Perreault are already working on a new TV project whose recipe will once again include a mix of drama and humor.
Produced by Encore Télévision in collaboration with Quebecor Content, the third and final season of the series “Les armbands rouge” will be shown on TVA from Tuesday, January 9th at 8 p.m.
