France Télévisions is the main public broadcasting group in France. It operates several national channels and a free streaming platform, france.tv, which is primarily funded by public money. In addition, the group has a network dedicated to its overseas territories, called " La 1ère ," which produces and broadcasts local content in Africa, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific.
The group is introducing two short, serialized series, specially designed to be broadcast directly on its platforms and social networks.
The first is powered by Slash, a platform dedicated to 18-30 year olds. The videos are short, with a sequential narrative and regular releases. The series "P*tain de soirée" (Damn Party) is co-written and performed by Roman Doduik, in collaboration with editorial teams within France Télévisions. Distribution relies on Slash's social media accounts and those of the creator, with direct distribution on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.
The second initiative is led by the Overseas Territories division of La 1ère. The series "L'île entre nous" (The Island Between Us) is produced in Guadeloupe and tells a romantic story between characters deeply rooted in the local community. Talents such as Axelle René and Gilles Saint-Louis are involved in its creation and production. The series is broadcast on Guadeloupe La 1ère's social media channels, with short episodes released sequentially, optimized for mobile viewing.
During a presentation at the Media Club International on March 5, 2026, James Labbé, deputy director of content responsible for TV channels at the Overseas division of France Télévisions, explained that this project was initially launched independently before being fully integrated, due to its success.
The content is accessible directly online, without going through linear broadcasting, with circulation ensured by platforms and social networks.
