Written by François Létourneau and co-directed by Jean-François Rivard and Robin Aubert, the second season of ‘Happily Married’ is produced by Joanne Forgues and Catherine Faucher of Productions Casablanca.

Several excellent actors are added to the cast: Charlotte Le Bon, Steve Laplante, Émilie Bibeau, Michel Laperrière, Marc St-Martin, Mikhaïl Ahooja, Anne-Marie Binette, Gabriel Cloutier Tremblay, Richard Fréchette and Pierre-François Legendre. The shooting of this second season, which will be broadcast in spring 2022 on ICI TOU.TV EXTRA, will begin on June 13^th.

The story, which takes place one year later, can be summarized as follows:

Summer 1975. The Delisle and the Paquette are going to take their children back to summer camp. They have three weeks to take control of their criminal empire left in the lurch during the school year. Huguette Delisle (Marilyn Castonguay) is now the new Gang leader of Sainte-Foy. Ready to find her eye of the tiger, she plans to give her organization a feminist approach in this International Women's Year.

Obviously, nothing will happen as planned. Huguette, Gaétan (François Létourneau), Serge (Patrice Robitaille) and Micheline (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman) will quickly realize that their adventures of the previous summer have not solved their marital problems. And as they try to defend their empire all the way to Montreal, they'll understand one thing: bombs and guns can kill, but nothing is more dangerous than a broken heart.

Also returning this season: Sophie Desmarais, Mani Soleymanlou, Jean-François Provençal, Mathieu Gosselin, René Richard Cyr, Patrick Drolet, Sébastien Rajotte, Jocelyne Zucco, Chantal Fontaine, Alexandre Goyette, Noémie Leduc-Vaudry, Pierre Limoges, Claude-Michel Bleau, Alexis Lefebvre, Michel Perron, Simon Rousseau, Normand Carrière, and Richardson Zéphir.

The first season of Happily Married was critically acclaimed both at home and abroad. It was the first Canadian TV series selected for the Berlinale and won ten ‘Gémeaux’ Awards, including Best Drama Series. It is still available on ICI TOU.TV.
