Here it all begins: the series shaken up on TF1, a big turning point is brewing at the Institute!

It’s an announcement that has the effect of a bomb in the world of daily series: TF1 is preparing to shake up the broadcast of Here Everything Begins , its hit soap opera derived from Tomorrow Belongs to Us . While fans passionately follow the adventures of the students and teachers of the Auguste Armand Institute every evening, the channel has decided to modify its programming , causing surprise, concern and curiosity among loyal viewers.

For several months, Ici tout commence has been experiencing a period of high narrative intensity. Between the intrigues surrounding Carla, Jim, Clotilde, and Teyssier, the writers are doubling their imagination to maintain the tension. But behind the scenes, TF1 is rethinking its schedule , and the soap opera could well be the first to suffer the consequences.

A programming change that causes a reaction

According to initial reports, the broadcast time slot for Ici tout commence will be slightly shifted from the end of October. The objective: to harmonize the pre-evening audiences and strengthen consistency between the channel’s flagship programs.
The soap opera, currently broadcast at 6:30 p.m. , could be brought forward or delayed depending on the day to accommodate special events, sports competitions, or themed evenings planned by the channel.

A strategic decision, certainly, but one that doesn’t please everyone. On social media, fans are already expressing their discontent:

“It’s our evening meeting, why change again?”
“TF1 is doing the same thing as with DNA, they’ll end up breaking the dynamic!”

Car Ici tout commence has established itself, since its launch in 2020, as a mainstay of TF1’s pre-access slot . On average, more than 2.4 million viewers follow the culinary and romantic intrigues of the Institute daily, a solid score that makes it one of the most watched programs before the news.

A repositioning linked to TF1 and its other series

This upheaval is part of a global overhaul of TF1’s schedule. The channel wants to better coordinate the broadcast of its daily soap operas, Tomorrow Belongs to Us and Here It All Begins , while leaving room for new short formats and special programs.
One hypothesis that has been raised is the broadcast of two episodes of DNA on certain days , which would force the channel to shift Here It All Begins to an earlier or later time depending on the week.

A choice that recalls the adjustments already observed on several occasions, particularly during major televised events (Euro, Olympic Games, elections). TF1 thus wants to maintain a flexible schedule , even if it means disorienting everyday fans a little.

A series still going strong, despite the storm

Despite this announced instability, Here It All Begins remains a sure bet. The recent intrigues, centered on Carla , Jim , Bérénice , and Teyssier , continue to fascinate the public. The writers are also preparing a major narrative arc for the end of October, described as “one of the most intense of the year”.
A drama at the Institute, medical secrets, betrayals and an unexpected return of a former emblematic character… everything is there to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, despite the broadcast changes.

The actors react

Several cast members have already reacted to this announcement. Elsa Lunghini (Clotilde) said:

“This kind of decision is out of our hands, but one thing is certain: the writers are working hard to keep each episode strong and emotional. Fans won’t be disappointed.”

For his part, Benjamin Baroche (Teyssier) , faithful to his frankness, wanted to be reassuring:

“Whether they put us at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m., Teyssier will remain Teyssier. The Institute is not closing its doors!”

These words confirm that, even if the broadcasting evolves, the spirit of the series remains intact.

Towards a new era for “Here it all begins”

According to some sources inside TF1, these adjustments are just the first step toward a broader evolution of the format. The channel is reportedly considering special prime-time episodes , or even a spin-off centered on a former student who has left the Institute.
This idea would aim to expand the series’ universe and capitalize on its popularity with young and family audiences.

Additionally, the production is working on a new character arc , with the introduction of several students by the end of the year. This will renew the dynamics and prepare a new generation of budding chefs.

Fans, between fear and impatience

While the announcement of the “upheaval” is worrying, it also arouses a certain excitement. Because each change at TF1 is often accompanied by new narrative opportunities : crossovers with Tomorrow Belongs to Us , special episodes, outdoor filming, etc.

Fans hope above all that the series will retain its essence: the emotion, the passion for cooking, and the complex human relationships that make it so charming.

In summary:
Here It All Begins is going through a turbulent period on TF1, but far from being threatened, the series is entering a new strategic phase . While the schedules may be changing, the heart of the series will still be beating strong.
Join us in the coming weeks to discover what TF1 has in store for its viewers—and our favorite apprentice chefs—in this new era of “Here It All Begins ,” full of challenges, drama, and new flavors.
