During the launch of Télé-Québec on Thursday, we learned that the next season of Belle and Bum had been shortened.
« It’s a question of budget “, Normand Brathwaite tells us. “” We are expensive. »
The host indicates that the music show has never been renewed for more than a year at a time: ” It’s uncertain every year. »
« I was sure that after the 20th, it was over He recalls. “” Besides, I was on stage, I had prepared my word, but Madame de Télé-Québec went up to say: “It comes back.” So I changed my speech. »
The place of filming Beautiful and bum has also changed this year. Previously, the show was filmed at the National, opposite the Beaudry metro, but the team no longer felt safe in this district. “” We have a lot of instruments that cost expensive. The girls left their saxophone at $ 10,000 and we had to go and renew them to their car. »
Now production is settling in Mtelus in the Spectacles district.
Normand also reveals to us that Beautiful and bum will present two special programs for the holiday season, including one on December 24 at 8 p.m.
« And since we have fewer programs this year, we will be able to tin a little more He says.
Rather than starting in the fall, the 23rd season will start in the winter of 2026. Fabiola N. Aladin, Marie-Josée Gauvin and Lunou Zucchini will be back to co-host.
