What happens
Hippocrate (English: Interns) is a French television medical drama series, which was broadcast from 26 November 2018 on Canal+. It was created and directed by former medical doctor Thomas Lilti as a spin-off from his 2014 film of the same name. The series is set in the Raymond Poincaré Hospital and follows three interns, Chloé (Louise Bourgoin), Alyson (Alice Belaïdi) and Hugo (Zacharie Chasseriaud), as well as forensic pathologist Arben (Karim Leklou). All four are assigned as ward doctors to the Internal Medicine department when the usual doctors on duty have been home quarantined due to an unknown infection. Hippocrate's first season of eight episodes was co-written by Lilti, Anaïs Carpita and Claude Le Pape. Hospital scenes were filmed in a disused wing of the Centre Hospitalier Robert Ballanger (Robert Ballanger Hospital Centre) using equipment from the associated hospital. Lilti announced in November 2018 that shooting the second season was due to begin in late 2019. Filming of that season began in January 2020 but was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France. During France's first nation-wide lockdown, from March to May 2020, Lilti resumed medical duties to assist hospital staff where he had been filming and also provided medical equipment, which had been purchased for the series. The second season was broadcast from 5 April 2021 with Bourgoin, Belaïdi, Leklou and Chasseriaud reprising their roles. For this series the hospital's Emergency Department is flooded and patients are transferred to Internal Medicine where the team deal with greater workloads and personal issues. All 16 episodes of both seasons were streamed in Australia via SBS on Demand from 8 September 2022. In June 2021 Lilti announced plans for a third season, filming started in March 2023 with broadcasting due in September 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
