Nearly two years later, even if Netflix has never ordered a second season (“It's radio silence on their part”), Patrick Laperrière hasn't closed the door on TV projects. He even wants to spend part of 2024 developing different concepts for Quebec.

During the holiday season, Patrick Laperrière also participated in a capsule broadcast during Ciné-Cadeau, on Télé-Québec.
