Former Montreal mayor Valérie Plante is set to appear as the host of a new documentary series on French‑language network TV5. The program, titled "Ça brasse en ville," will begin airing during the week of September 9 2026 and will be produced for broadcast from Montreal, Quebec.
The series is described as a documentary program that will be shown on TV5, a network that delivers French‑language content across Canada and internationally. Plante, who previously served as the mayor of Montreal, will take on the presenting role for the series, marking her involvement in television programming.
TV5 announced that "Ça brasse en ville" will join its schedule as part of the network's ongoing commitment to French‑language documentary content. The series will be filmed in Montreal, reflecting the city’s cultural and linguistic environment.
Plante’s participation aligns with her public profile in Quebec, where she is known for her previous municipal leadership. The documentary format suggests a focus on topics relevant to the urban setting, though specific episode subjects have not been disclosed.
The launch of the series in early September places it in the fall programming slate for TV5, a period when the network typically introduces new series. Viewers in Montreal and other French‑speaking regions will be able to watch the show on TV5 as it rolls out weekly episodes.
The collaboration between a former municipal leader and a national French‑language broadcaster highlights a crossover between political experience and media presentation. "Ça brasse en ville" is scheduled to run for an unspecified number of episodes, with Plante serving as the consistent on‑screen guide throughout its run.
