The French television network TF1 has announced it will end the broadcast of the American soap opera ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Les Feux de l’amour) in January 2027, marking the end of a 37-year run on the network that began in 1989.

The decision is reportedly driven by declining viewership, with recent data showing approximately 340,000 viewers and a 9.3% audience share, which trails behind competitors on France 2. TF1 intends to replace the series in its morning schedule with a revival of the game show ‘Pyramide,’ produced and hosted by Arthur.

In response to the news, fans have initiated a petition on Change.org to advocate for the program to remain on the network. As of November 1, the ‘Save The Young and the Restless’ petition had gathered more than 3,000 signatures. Supporters emphasize the cultural and emotional significance of the show, which has followed the lives of families such as the Newmans and Abbotts for decades. Viewers have expressed significant disappointment, describing the loss of the series as a blow to their daily routines.

As the broadcast nears its conclusion, storylines in late 2025 include Victor Newman’s confrontation with Jordan, Nikki Newman’s struggles with depression and alcohol, and Ashley Abbott facing internal struggles and potential medical revelations.
