The actress, who played Julie Lescaut for many years, was originally supposed to play an important role in Demain Nous Appartient. She was one of the first stars chosen to appear in the series and was to play the role of the mayor's wife, but in the end, after a rewrite of the script, Ingrid Chauvin was chosen instead to play this character.

The show takes place in Sète for a very good reason. TelFrance, the company that produces the series, decided to shoot in this southern city for its sunny side, without being too flashy. "We were looking for a city by the sea that was not a seaside resort. We needed a sunny city, capable of magnifying reality. We looked for a place where the weather was nice. And in Sète it is better than anywhere else," said Guillaume Menthon, president of TelFrance.

Did you know? The music heard during the episodes is composed by one and the same man: Matthieu Gonet. Does his name ring a bell? It should if you watched the French Star Academy show, where he was the musical director. But there is more: a former candidate of the show also had a role in the series. Aurélie Konaté played Oriane Vasseur between 2018 and 2019.

Ingrid Chauvin and Thierry Peythieu were in a relationship for a few years, before breaking up in 2020. The latter is a director on some episodes of Tomorrow Is Ours, in which the actress kissed Alexandre Brasseur, their two characters being in a relationship. One day, that was a bit too much to bear for Thierry Peythieu, as Ingrid Chauvin recounts in an interview with PurePeople: "Sometimes my husband directs, he's behind the camera, and on a scene with Alexandre Brasseur, Alex kissed me on the mouth when it was not really planned for that moment. There was my husband behind, and he said ‘Wait, Alex, what are you doing?! Cut! Cut!’ Now that was pretty funny."

Lorie Pester, who plays in the series from the first episode in 2017, and who decided to take a two-year break between 2019 and 2021, began her career in television long before that, in 2008. The actress and singer appeared in an episode of The Young and the Restless with a character called Juliette. One of her very first roles!
