France 2 Broadcasts Family Feuds in Corsica
France 2 premieres the first two episodes of its six-part dramatic series La Terre et Le Sang on Monday, October 19, 2026, bringing viewers into the complex world of Corsican family feuds. The production features a cast including Thierry Neuvic, Vahina Giocante, and Tcheky Karyo, focusing on a central character who refuses to engage in traditional retribution.
Beyond its visual style and performances, the series centers on whether the historical institution of the Corsican vendetta persists in modern times. The team was interviewed at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival to examine the reality behind the fiction.
Makers and Cast Confirm Ongoing Realities
The persistence of family vendettas remains a reality on the island, according to co-creator and co-writer Pierre-Marie Mosconi. “Unfortunately, yes, vendettas do exist,” Mosconi stated, explaining that outsiders rarely witness these conflicts because residents keep them hidden. He added that dormant disputes occasionally flare up, noting that current tensions indicate new conflicts are anticipated.
Cast member Vahina Giocante corroborated these accounts, sharing a personal connection to the subject. “The uncle of my mother got killed at his mother’s funeral not very long time ago,” Giocante said. Fellow cast member Philippe Corti noted that while such lethal outcomes happen less frequently today, they still occur when disputes escalate. “As we are hot-blooded and everybody is armed down here, if there is a confrontation, it can easily turn bad,” Corti observed.
