The "Alibi.com" series has proven to be a consistent draw for audiences, with its first two films collectively attracting a remarkable 7.8 million spectators in France. The original "Alibi.com," released in 2017, captivated 3.6 million viewers, establishing a strong foundation for the burgeoning franchise. Six years later, its sequel, "Alibi.com 2," managed to surpass its predecessor, bringing in an impressive 4.2 million admissions.
This latest announcement from StudioCanal confirms that the comedic magic will continue, with the core cast members slated to return. Philippe Lacheau, who not only directs but also stars as Greg, the mastermind behind an agency specializing in creating foolproof alibis, will be joined by his long-time collaborators Julien Arruti, Elodie Fontan, and Tarek Boudali. The previous film saw Greg navigating a new series of elaborate lies and absurd situations as he prepared to marry Flo, leaving audiences eager to discover what new predicaments await the team in "Alibi.com 3."
Philippe Lacheau's influence in French comedy extends beyond the "Alibi.com" universe. He and his frequent co-stars, affectionately known as "La Bande à Fifi," are mainstays in the genre. Before "Alibi.com 3" arrives, fans will see Lacheau in "Somnambule," a new comedy directed by Tarek Boudali, set for release on February 3, 2027. This film will also feature Alice David, Julien Arruti, Élodie Fontan, François Berléand, and Gérard Jugnot, showcasing the tight-knit group's collaborative spirit.
In addition to his acting and directing roles, Lacheau is set to preside over the jury of the prestigious Alpe d'Huez Comedy Film Festival, scheduled from January 18 to 24, 2027. This role further cements his standing as a prominent figure in the French comedic landscape, ensuring that his unique brand of humor will continue to entertain audiences for years to come.
