Coming Soon to a Screen Near You...in 2020
Greetings, Caraymates!
So onward with WHAT”S COMING!! (July, 2020 Update--)
El Privilegio de Amar – PRODUCED BY CARLA ESTRADA
Starts April 13, 2020
COMING SOON!!
As the 2019 telenovela year
comes to an end, we can’t but reflect on all the wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful)
productions that Telelvisa, Univision, Telemundo and other production companies
have brought us. Among them we were introduced to transmigration of souls in Amar a Muerte (which swept away all the
awards in the TVyNovelas Award Show except
for one); we saw a young girl robbed
of her family and her fame in La Reina
Soy Yo; we had just about every PSA under the sun thrown at us in Mi Marido Tiene (Mas) Familia; and we
were given more of a glimpse into the narco/crime world than we (at least I for
sure) would hope for in TNs such as La Piloto 2, La Reina del Sur and Por Amar Sin Ley 2. We even were
witnesses to the birth of the Dream Factory/Fábrica
de Sueños which brought us some well-renowned telenovelas which were
adapted and transformed into 25-episode series. All in all, it was a good year!
So what’s in store for 2020, you may ask? Well, grab a seat in the patio and
let me tell you what I know (or have found). Before I start, I do want to put
in some disclaimers—
The information you are
about to read was gathered from a variety of sources including, “Univision,” “People en Español,”, “La
Opinion,” “Wikipedia,” “Forbes,” and
“Las Estrellas.” The articles/webpages read are dated from as far back as
May, 2019; so changes may have been made by the powers that be in the
production companies (and I am not privy to the changes). I have no information
about release dates (except for maybe one of the productions) and you will note
that there isn’t much info on some of the TNs, but this page will be updated periodically
throughout the 2020 year. If you have current or more accurate information to
share, please do so; it will be greatly appreciated and used to update the page.
So onward with WHAT”S COMING!! (July, 2020 Update--)

Amor Prohibido –
PRODUCED BY KEREM CATAY-AY YAPIM
“Amor Prohibido” is a Turkish telenovela which is an adaptation of Halit Ziya Halit Usakigli’s 1899 novel “Ask-i Memnu” set in
contemporary Istanbul instead of the novel's late 19th-century setting.
This is a drama about a very
rich businessman, Adnan Zayagil, who has two grown children: a teenage daughter Nihal and
eleven-year-old son Bülent. He is also raising his orphaned younger relative
Behlül.
Adnan is in his 20s as the series start. Ms Deniz de Courton is
the children's tutor and she has been living in the household long before the
death of Adnan's wife. Deniz is of both Turkish and French heritage and is
known to the entire household as "Mademoiselle". She was
"entrusted" with the children by Adnan's deceased wife on her
deathbed.
A wealthy
widower, Adnan attracts the attention of Firdevs Yöreoğlu, who has two
daughters and has recently lost her husband. Peyker Yöreoğlu (Firdevs' eldest
daughter) dated Behlül but marries Nihat Önal, son of another wealthy Istanbul
family as the story begins. At their wedding, Adnan and Firdevs' youngest
daughter, Bihter Yöreoğlu bond over the loss of their loved ones. Adnan falls
in love with the much younger and beautiful Bihter. He proposes to her and she
agrees to marry him even though she knows that her mother fancies him. There is
no love lost between mother and daughter as Bihter blames her mother for her
father's death after she cheated on him with another man. Firdevs is also not a
favorite of Nihat's father, the rich but cunning businessman Hilmi Önal. Hilmi
dislikes Firdevs because she is greedy, cunning and self-centered; he vows to
make her life a living hell. Firdevs - along with her maid, Katya - moves in
with the Ziyagils after she suffers a serious car accident.
The marriage
of Bihter and Adnan begins well as Bihter tries to endear herself to Adnan's
children. Adnan is devoted to Bihter but their age difference soon shows in
their widely different reactions to events. Everyone knows Behlül as a playboy,
more interested in girls than in his university studies. Bihter has held a
grudge against him since he left her sister Peyker. Living together in the
Ziyagil mansion, Behlül falls head over heels in love with Bihter. He tries to
stay away and has feelings of guilt toward his uncle, but it proves a losing
battle as he becomes more and more captivated by Bihter. She initially rejects
him, but later falls for him. Their "forbidden love" (Aşk i Memnu in
Turkish) becomes the centerpiece of the story. The series is an in-depth look
at the damage created by their illicit affair on themselves and the entire
Ziyagil household. Strong character development characterizes the series with
outstanding lead performances by Kivanc Tatlitug as Behlül, Beren Saat as
Bihter, Selçuk Yöntem as Adnan and Zerrin Tekindor as Mademoiselle.

in a dark mansion, to tell the story of her life and why she decided to isolate
herself from the outside world. Carla learns that Rubí was an ambitious woman
of humble origin, determined to use her impressive beauty and female “charms”
to escape poverty, regardless of who she had to step on to achieve it. Joining

helps Mariana find a family with whom to stay in East Los Angeles. While there,
she meets a womanizer named Luis Alberto who changes his ways when he falls in
love with her. Later, Luis Alberto and Mariana have a son who is kidnapped; and
this leads Mariana to dedicate herself to helping migrants.
After many years, the evil step-mother appears to seek vengeance on
Mariana. She manipulates the lost son and uses him to disrupt Mariana’s home
and to try to kill Mariana.

Thanks, RgvChick, for putting this all together. Your work is appreciated. I agree that the last year was a very good one for novelas—at least for me. I am hoping to see some lighter fare like “Soltero con híjas”or shorter fare from the “Fabrica de sueños” series. Looks like there are some good possibilities but only time will tell.
I only have Telemundo access so I rarely see your postings,
you are so cool.
Telemundo is also filming a comedy, "100 días para enamorarnos", (in case the Exatlon people get too tired).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_d%C3%ADas_para_enamorarnos
I'm currently watching El Sultan, "Magnificent Century", on youtube, nixing Telemundo.

Thanks very much, RgvChick, for all this helpful information. I found myself rather discouraged by the Telemundo offerings--almost all seemed to focus on the world of drugs and drug lords. ¡Ya basta! For that reason, I was heartened to read deb's announcement about "100 días para enamoramos."
I have one question about "Soltero Con Hijas." Laura Flores was listed among the cast members. Some years ago, I think she moved over to Telemundo. Has she left Telemundo, or is it possible that "Soltero Con Hijas" is a Telemundo offering?

Juanita, nice to “see” you! I join you in the “basta ya” club of narconovelas but I would join you guys for a third season of “La Reina del Sur” if it ever comes to be. : ) I don’t know about Laura Flores but “Soltero. . .” Is a Televisa production.
Thank you for this information on upcoming telenovelas, Rgv Chick! This took a lot of time and work to compile ,
Interesting that Telemundo continues to focus on the narcovelas, but Univision/Televisa seem to be going in a more classic Telenovela direction. The upcoming Uni/visa offerings all look interesting, so there might not be a telenovela break for me when the disastrous Hijas ends.
Thank you again!

RGV Chick: Thank you for the detailed analysis.
I'll be looking forward to seeing "Rubi" & looks like "Enemigo" will NOT have a happy ending.

Good morning, Everyone, and thank you for stopping by!
Jarifa, "lighter fare" will be very welcome this coming year. The crime/narco dramas were a little on the heavy side and while I enjoy a crime drama once in a while, I can only take so much.
Deb, thank you so much for the info on "100 días para enamorarnos." I'll add it to the page as soon as I can.
Juanita, sources indicate that Laura Flores would be returning to Televisa since back in spring of this year. She was back with Televisa even prior to "Soltero Con Hijas" as a main character in "Mi Corazon No Se Equivoca," which aired on Univision this past summer.
Doris, yes, this did take some time as I had to research to make sure the information was as accurate as possible. There were some series that I left out because I couldn't find at least two sources that confirmed them. Included in those are some daytime shows for Univisión. One is “Esta Historia Me Suena” (This Story Sounds Familiar) which is a drama in which stand-alone episodes address family and youth issues, featuring a song that inspires the episode’s storyline. The plot leads to reflection between parents and children to find a way to solve these problems in everyday life. The song accompanies and supports the narrative.
Another new Univisión series is Desde el Jardín (From the Garden), another drama where a flower shop serves as the backdrop to every episode, taking viewers inside the lives of the customers and the challenges they face. All episodes of this series are set in a flower shop. The plants in the store are the catalytic elements to tell us the lives of customers and the problems they face. The relationship between human nature and the nature of plants and flowers plays an important role in each program and its outcome. The characters in the florist are: Dalia, the owner's daughter, young and enthusiastic; Celestino, a funny and witty boy, and Doña Emma, an older woman with vast knowledge of herbalism and gardening. They will interact with the protagonists of each episode, changing their destiny.
For Telemundo, I read that "Falsa Identidad" would come back for a second season where Diego (Luis Ernesto Franco) and and Isabel (Camila Sodi) must return to Mexico; and this forces them to continue seeing each other as well as their enemies.
Again, these three other shows were announced only one time and it was back in May. No other information could be found.
Steve, I have yet to see a narco drama that has a truly happy ending...at least not one like "Y Mañana Sera Otro Día Mejor" where EVERYONE (except Malicio) was redeemed and happy.

RgvChick, “Esta historia suena” is on my Comcast Univision OnDemand with the five first episodes but I do not know when it is being shown.
Gracias, RGVChick. This information is helpful.
I have a feeling that actors are all free agents now and there is no more studio system. I don't know whether this is good or bad.
The proposed new El Privilegio de Amar doesn't sound a thing like the 1998 story. That's one that should be left alone.
Has Camila Sodi ever played a nasty girl? If not, I wonder....
More later. I have to catch up to what I haven't seen since Thursday, especially now that El Dragon will be in double episodes next week.

Rgv Chick, between everything you have going on including recapping Ringo, I don't know how you found the time to do this.
But you did. And as always, exceptionally well.
If airing at 10, I already know I won't be watching Rubi. While I wish it well, I think my remembrance of the original with Barbara Mori, Santamarina and Rulli will be good comfort.
Jose Ron is everywhere, isn't he? I'm happy for his success but it would be nice to see a few other actors given a chance for a lead. Happy Daniel Arenas is back though.
Interesting (and sad) there appears to be no Colunga, Salinas or Yanez. Relieved that Cesar Evora will be around. Laura Flores was always a favorite of mine while with Televisa...I think the chances of Adela Noriega returning to TNs at this point are slim but...If that happened, it would likely only be in a lead role...
As Carla Estrada is producing El Privilegio de Amar I suspect it will be fabulous.
Rgv Chick, thank you for doing this - a great read and a lot to look forward to.

If airing at 10, I already know I won't be watching Rubi. While I wish it well, I think my remembrance of the original with Barbara Mori, Santamarina and Rulli will be good comfort.
Jose Ron is everywhere, isn't he? I'm happy for his success but it would be nice to see a few other actors given a chance for a lead. Happy Daniel Arenas is back though.
Interesting (and sad) there appears to be no Colunga, Salinas or Yanez. Relieved that Cesar Evora will be around. Laura Flores was always a favorite of mine while with Televisa...I think the chances of Adela Noriega returning to TNs at this point are slim but...If that happened, it would likely only be in a lead role...
As Carla Estrada is producing El Privilegio de Amar I suspect it will be fabulous.
Rgv Chick, thank you for doing this - a great read and a lot to look forward to.
Diana

Thanks, Jarifa, for letting me know that "Soltero" is a Televisa production. And you can be sure that if Telemundo ever does a 3rd season of La Reina del Sur, I'll be shouting it from the housetops (or whatever makes more sense in the 21st century, as long as it's not Facebook).
Thanks, Urban, for your remark about the demise of the studio system. I've been wondering about that.
And thanks, again, RgvChick, for the info about Laura Flores and, especially, for mentioning the possibility of a second season for "Falsa Identidad." I enjoyed season 1, being a fan of Luis Ernesto Franco since seeing him as Rodrigo in "Bajo el mismo cielo."

Jarifa, thanks for confirming “Esta Historia Suena.” I’m glad to know that most of the information is accurate even though it’s from a few months ago.
UA, I too was surprised that “El Privilegio de Amar” sounds nothing like the 1998 version. In an interview, Carla Estrada explained that she was keeping to the “essence of the story,” but I don’t recognize any of the plot. Instead of a remake, I wish they would come up with a sequel. If it were up to me it could be 20 years later; and the story would revolve around Cristina’s and Victor Manuel’s children and their love woes. And it would be wonderful if Adela Noriega and Rene Strickler would be reprise there roles! ...But that’s just my wishful thinking :-)
Diana, yes, Jose Ron does seem to be quite popular as a lead all of a sudden. BTW, Jorge Salinas was listed as a supporting actor in”Te Doy La Vida;” so one out of three isn’t bad. Back when I first started to research the 2020 TNs, I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Fernando Colunga listed as an cast member for “ Mas Fuerte Que El Viento,” but then my bubble was quickly burst when, the next time I checked the cast listing, Cristian de la Fuente’s name appeared in place of Fernando’s...so Boo-hoo-hoo
Juanita, I also liked “Falsa Identidad” and I sure hope the second season comes to fruition. As soon as I “hear” anything about it, I will let you know.

What a fabulous post. I really appreciate your taking the time to compile such a detailed list.
'El maleficio" was produced by the great Ernesto Alonso. I will definitely give this one a try. Along with El jardín. Not too sure about Christian de Fuente, as I'm not a big fan. And definitely I'm sick of José Ron, and even skipped Ringo. I can't understand Televisa's propensity for casting the same actors over and over again and in one novela right after another.
The others, particularly the comedies, hold no interest for me. Also, I'm not a follower of narco-novelas except for El Dragón as it seems less violent, less cartel-driven than others, and IMO tells the narco story from a different perspective than others.
I can't imagine El privilegio de amar with only 25+/- episodes. It's saving grace may well be Carla Estrada's producdor talent. IMO, one of the greatest producers in my telenovela watching days. Why oh why can't she give us one of her Telenovelas de Época?
And I've read very unflattering reviews of Rubí. Mostly the casting of the main protagonist. I didn't see the original, so I'm no one to judge.
I read that Telemundo was trying to get out of narco-novelas as they appeared, to some I guess, to be losing their appeal.
I'm watching Médicos right now and will not spoil the story for others.
I think I liked PASL since it was a legal-themed novela, a departure from the typical novela.
Thank you for posting this, and I look forward to seeing which ones Caray recaps.

as dondi reminded me when I first posted on "100 Días Para Enamorarnos", the cast also includes Isabella Sierra (Sofia from LRDS2).

RGV--I hope none of your little critters suffered while you did the research and organizing for the 2020 coming attractions. Thank you.
A feast, por cierto. How to choose, how to choose....there are actors in each of the offerings I would love to watch: Jorge Salinas, Emanuel Palomares, Azela Robinson, Margarita Magana, Emanuel Orenday (sultry, sexy Lino in Sin Tu Mirada), Erica Buenfil (hopefully in a meatier role than in LeyII), ok and even Danilo Carrera and his sweet smile), but the stories and some main actors only so-so.
I agree. Jose Ron is being overused--too visible. Ever since LQNPA, I just haven't been able to see him as a leading man with much sex appeal.
I think I'll tune in to Rubi and El Privilegio de Amar for the entire run.
I can't imagine what Salvador Mejia is going to turn out with Mas Fuerte Que el Viento, but I love a mystery--especially if Cristian gets a role. He owes us another one after En Tierras Salvajes (truly a waste of all those terrific actors).
Again, a big thank you for all this work, RGV. It makes organizing my daily life around telenovelas so much easier.

Thanks, Rgv Chick. Very helpful. I try to watch all TN premieres to see what hits me. I saw the new Rubi actress in Falsa Identidad. She was good in that but I don't see her as the femme fatale type, but I could be wrong.
Anita, have you taken a look at Ringo with Jose Ron? If not, I encourage you to give it a try.
Sorry the Daniela Castro, Me Declaro Culpable (or something like that) isn't coming to Univision.

Wow, deb, thanks for the info about Isabel Sierra being in 100 días para enamoramos. She was absolutely amazing as Teresa Mendoza's daughter in season 2 of La reina del sur! I hope she has a role in 100 días worthy of her immense talent.
Thanks for the list! I've been looking for something else to watch and this helps. Hoping the antenna picks up Univision because some of those look good, esp. El Privilegio, Soltera con hijas, and Mas Fuerte. I don't mind the edgier Telemundo ones, but I've had enough of drugs and murders. And multiple seasons (looking at you El Senor- Aurelio should have been dead a long time ago). I tried with El Sultan but started late and couldn't catch up, and since they're tiara game wasn't up to La Sultana, I gave up. Something light and traditional and ridiculous would be welcome!

Anita, not to worry about my animalitos; they are always well fed on time and taken care of.
For some reason, I recognized "Lino" right away..maybe the name just stuck to me, quien sabe.
I was really impressed with the cast from "Mas Fuerte que El Viento." If those really end up being the cast, it'll be aTN that I will definitely watch.
Niecie, I saw Camila Sodi in "Falsa Identidad" too. It was the first time I saw her and I too think she did a pretty good job.
Kelly, I've had enough of drugs and murders too; "light and traditional" sounds really good to me.

Soltero con hijas appears to fit that description. For ridiculous- they have a character named El Calamal. ROFL

Thanks for the preview listings, Rgv chick! Hope to find a few gems to lighten my evenings.
Feliz Año Nuevo to everyone!
Feliz Año Nuevo to everyone!
Andy (the lurker one) and La
Paloma, thanks for stopping by.
Andy, I’m trying to figure out what “calamal “ means; the closest thing I found was “calamar” which means “squid.” Juan Vidal plays that character And he certainly doesn’t look like a squid :-)
La Paloma and everyone else—
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks so much for these updates! It's so exciting to see what is coming up! I am especially excited about the 25-episode novela idea. Wow!
I was a very active follower of this blog (and helped recap a few, including LQNPA and Eva Luna) but life got in the way. (I was a caregiver for a family member with dementia.)
I missed the good times that I remember from CarayCaray and particularly miss the increased Spanish comprehension I gleaned from watching the novelas!
I'm especially looking forward to the novela with Jorge Salinas (with Jose Ron in the lead). And whatever else 2020 may give us!
So nice to see some familiar names here still. I'm now trying to watch Un Poquito Tuyo (because Jorge Salinas!) and will see where to go from there.

I should be glad if some of the mexican novelas could could come in English for example
la gata, Mi mirado tien familia, Medicos.. Corazon Indomable a s o. Earlier we got an English version when we asked for translating but not any longer. Do you know why?

100 Dias para Enamorarnos
TELEMUNDO is now announcing it as "PRONTO." Of course this could still mean weeks away.

To Regards from Sweden--
We have no power or influence to have telenovelas dubbed into English. The best you can hope for is to get Closed Captions or Subtitles. That's how we get some of the Turkish offerings.
Barring that, you are welcome to access and follow along with Caray recaps (if we indeed recapped them). The titles are all listed on the side-bar.

UPDATE ON WHAT'S COMING
"Medicos: Linea de Vida" is, indeed, replacing "Amor Eterno." The Gran Estreno will be July 14th, Tuesday.
As for what's replacing "Vida" and "CTNHD," the only thing that I have seen promos for is "Vencer el Miedo" but it supposedly will run at 7PM (E).
I've also started to see promos for "Dulce Ambición" which is a Brazilian TN that is said to have been very popular. According to Univision, however, it will be coming "pronto;" so I can't even guess as to which TN it will replace.
AnonFri, I had heard about "Amor Prohibido" (another Turkish TN) starting sometime in the fall. It first aired in Turkey back in 2008 and is also a produced by Kerem Catay. It sounds interesting!
