The Profs are back: it's already back to school on TF1!

How about ending this August 15th holiday… at school?

With a 12% success rate in the baccalaureate, the Jules Ferry high school is the worst high school in France. Even the best teachers have failed. The last chance to save the school is to recruit a team that is at the very least original: for the worst students, the worst teachers… A new style that, despite the discontent of the parents, will quickly seduce the students.

Adaptation of the Pica and Erroc comic strip by Pierre-François Martin Lavalthe comedy The Teachers has known a great success in 2013 with its high-flying cast – the film brings together Christian Clavier, Isabelle Nanty, Pierre-François Martin-Laval, Kev Adams, Stéfi Celma…

With Les Profs, Kev Adams has become the king of the French box office

By offering it again this evening, the first channel obviously hopes to repeat the success that marked the theatrical release of PEF's film: The Teachers has nearly reached four million admissions in theaters at the time, making it the seventh box office result in France in 2013 (behind among others Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Wolf of Wall Street Or Fast and Furious 6)the first taking into account only French production.

This is the third achievement of the formerRobin Hoodwho had already signed Try me in 2006 and King William in 2009, who had known charm the critics. Updating the humor of the original comic to target a younger audience, The Teachers has managed to hit the right target audience, that of young teenagers, who have reserved a triumph for a film that was nevertheless panned by critics. Having become a sort of Under-gifted people take the baccalaureate version 2.0 for generation 2010.

“All the elements were there to make Profs 2 a success”

Two years later, the same team – with the exception of Christian Clavier replaced by Didier Bourdon – returned for the sequel, a school trip to England, which did almost as well as its predecessor: this new comedy reached almost 3.5 million admissions. But The Teachers will no longer have a sequel. Unable to play a high school student forever, Kev Adams will continue with Aladdin and its sequel or the Retirement homeamong several projects that go more unnoticed (Like magic, Praise me!…).

After adapting a series of even more cult comics, Gaston Lagaffein 2018 (but there again, the reviews were not very enthusiastic), PEF found Christian Clavier last year for The Revenge of Master Poutifarda new story of a teacher who has a hard time putting up with his students. It was not as successful, with this new comedy struggling to get through 500,000 admissions.
