TF1 Séries Films, which was previously known as HD1, is a French TV channel under the ownership of TF1 Group. It began broadcasting on 12 December 2012 through TNT, satellite, and xDSL services.

Initial TNT Channel Plans

Originally, TF1 Group intended to transform the Breton language channel TV Breizh into 'tv-b' after the switch-off of analogue television. Nevertheless, regulatory limitations imposed by Brussels prevented the allocation of new channels to former analogue broadcasters like TF1 Group, resulting in the cancellation of this initiative.

HD1 Launch

In March 2012, the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (CSA) evaluated TF1 Group’s request for a new national high-definition channel on TNT. TF1 chose the name 'HD1', promoting it as "the network of all stories." On 27 March 2012, the CSA approved HD1 as one of six new HD channels, with the official contract finalized on 6 July 2012.

On 18 October 2017, TF1 Group revealed plans to rename HD1 as TF1 Séries Films in 2018 to better reflect its dedication to series and movies.

Visual identity

The first HD1 logo was unveiled during the CSA hearing on 14 March 2011. It consisted of a circle enclosing the text 'hd1', displayed in several colors such as red, light green, and blue.

Before the channel’s debut in November 2012, a refreshed logo was introduced. This new design eliminated the circular element, switched the text color to blue, and rendered 'HD' as an uppercase typographic ligature.
