Hélène de Fougerolles stars in new France 2 series

French actress Hélène de Fougerolles is starring in the new France 2 series ‘La mère et l’assassin’, based on the novel by Alexandra Echkenazi. The four-episode series follows Morgane, a middle school principal who investigates the sudden disappearance of her 17-year-old daughter.

De Fougerolles described the project as one of the most important and beautiful filming experiences of her career. The production, which was moved from Saint-Malo to Martigues in the Bouches-du-Rhône region, allowed the actress to film near her home in Vaucluse. The series has already garnered 3 million views on the france.tv platform.

Separately, de Fougerolles has been noted for her fashion choices, specifically her appearance at the Multi Screen Grand Prix 2026 in Paris, where she showcased a structured, military-inspired jacket trend.
