TF1 removes “Ici tout commence” actor from production after heated argument

France – July 18, 2026: TF1 has temporarily removed one of the actors from the daily series “Ici tout commence” from production following a heated argument with a fellow actress. The incident occurred on Friday, July 17, between filming sessions. The broadcaster confirmed that it had taken precautionary measures.

The private broadcaster is thus responding to an incident whose exact circumstances have not yet been made public. No further details have been disclosed about the sequence of events or the possible consequences for those involved. At this stage, the measure does not constitute a finding of guilt, but is intended to ensure the day-to-day operations of the production while the facts are being established.

In a daily series such as “Ici tout commence,” sudden events of this kind affect a tightly organized operation. Each episode is produced well in advance, with sets, scripts, and casting precisely coordinated. Therefore, when a member of the ensemble is absent for a short period, this requires not only organizational measures but also special consideration for the teams working in front of and behind the camera.

TF1 explained that it does not tolerate violence in any form. The decision not to use the actor concerned for the time being should be understood as a measure to protect those working on set. The focus is not only on the television production seen on screen, but also on the safety of the many professions that support the rhythm of the daily format. These include directing, technical staff, makeup, costumes, and the editorial team.

Since its launch in 2020, “Ici tout commence” has become one of TF1’s regular drama offerings. Set in a culinary school, the show is characterized by a large ensemble and storytelling in which private conflicts, professional ambitions, and family stories are closely intertwined. The series continues to air in the early evening on the broadcaster’s schedule.

However, this incident shifts attention from the fictional crises within the series to the responsibility the production has toward its employees. In cases involving suspected physical violence, caution is required until the facts are finally established. At the same time, the broadcaster’s swift response shows how important a protected working environment is considered in the French television industry.

It remains unclear whether, or when, the actor temporarily removed from production will return to the set. It will also become clear in the future whether the production will need to change schedules or storylines that have already been prepared. Since daily series generally promise stable continuity, this news is likely to be unsettling for viewers, particularly because the show itself is facing a major real-life disruption.
