In Paris in spring 2025, Alyssa Milano shared her enthusiasm for series. The Charmed icon enjoys these simple moments. With her family, she goes through the episodes. However, a French fiction now strongly arouses her curiosity. In an interview, the actress, who paid tribute to Eric Dane, talked about her television habits. Between career memories and recent projects, she confided naturally. And above all, she revealed her impatience: to discover a French series that she is eagerly awaiting.
An American adaptation that makes you want to see the original
As a guest at the Paris Sci-fi Manga Show, Alyssa Milano spoke openly. She first talked about her memorable roles. Then, she discussed her daily pleasures. Watching series is part of it. With her husband David Bugliari, she cultivates this ritual. “We finished The Agency, it was so good!”, she confessed enthusiastically. She described it as having “a lot of suspense”, but also “a perfect blend of action and relationships”. Furthermore, she emphasized “a very beautiful aesthetic”. The tone is warm, sincere. Then, almost spontaneously, she added, “I know there is a French version, we really have to watch it!”. Thus, the actress clearly shows her curiosity.
Aired in 2024 on Showtime, The Agency adapts the French series The Bureau of Legends. This detail is not insignificant. Indeed, the original fiction by Eric Rochant has left a lasting mark on spy aficionados. The American version brings together a prestigious cast: Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, or Richard Gere. However, despite this Hollywood deployment, Alyssa Milano wants to go back to the source. This choice reflects a real interest in French creation. Moreover, she does not hide her impatience. She wants to compare the universes, feel a different atmosphere. Therefore, her testimony illustrates the international appeal of French series. And confirms their ability to seduce well beyond borders.
Evenings watching series with family, between relaxation and organization
At home, Alyssa Milano varies the genres. With her children, she prefers lighter programs. “I watch Dance Moms with my children,” she simply explains. This shared moment means a lot to her. Then, she mentions another family passion: Formula 1. “And Formula One with Milo,” she specifies. This mother-son bond fits into a balanced routine. On one side, entertainment. On the other, professional life. Because the actress continues to film. However, she makes sure to preserve time for her loved ones. Thus, series evenings become valuable breaks, almost essential in her busy schedule. A mother to Milo Thomas and Elizabella Dylan, Alyssa Milano embraces her priorities. “My children are not affected by the roles I choose,” she asserts. However, she immediately qualifies it. The distance and duration of the shoots influence her decisions. She then mentions a memorable moment: her departure from Mistresses. The production had to leave Los Angeles for Vancouver. Three weeks after the birth of her baby, this change was necessary. She decisively states, “I would never have done it.” This refusal, she says, “was not a difficult choice.” In short, her career adapts to her family life, and not the other way around.
