Coming to a Screen Near You...in 2023!!
Ahoy there, Caraymates!!!
We’re on the heels of the end of the year…and what a year it was in telenoveland! During the 2022 year, we saw mucho backstabbing, intrigue, mystery, murder, and other not so nice stuff, but we also saw slap-stick, repeated reconciliations, forgiveness, love-lorn looks, weddings, all that delicious food and so many other good things! And I am sure the 2023 year will bring much of the same, but in different stories and in varied ways.
It’s taken me a while longer
than I anticipated, but I finally have what so many have been waiting for…news
on what’s coming!! I can tell you that there are some really good TNs coming
our way! But as always, before I start, I must add my usual disclaimer:
The information you are about to read was gathered from a variety of sources including, “Univision,” “People en Español,” “La Opinion,” “Wikipedia,” “Forbes,” “Las Estrellas,” and "MediaVillage”. The articles/webpages read are dated from as far back as Spring, 2022; so changes may have been made by the powers that be in the production companies (and I am not privy to the changes). As you will note, I have very little information about release dates, but this page will be updated periodically throughout the 2023 year with any additional information I come across. 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 we go---

does he?). Utterly devastated, Sofía goes to Cabo to meet her in-laws; and upon
arriving, her life completely changes. She
discovers that Alejandro is alive, but he is not the good, humble man she
thought he was. Alejandro confesses that his real name is Eduardo and he
changed it to Alejandro so that Sofía could be legally married to his brother,
Alejandro, who was the one who actually died in the plane crash…and so that
they could claim the real Alejandro’s fortune. (are you as confused as I am?)

EL AMOR INVENCIBLE –
PRODUCED BY JUAN OSORIO
Premieres on
????
Once again, Angelique Boyer
graces the screen as a protagonist in El Amor Invencible. And for the
first time, as the male lead opposite Angelique, is Danilo Carrera. This series
is a melodrama that is an adaptation of a Portuguese series and it presents a
theme which may be controversial, but quite interesting. Boyer portrays Marina,
a young girl “born in Puerto Palma and she is submerged into the deepest of the
sea, like a mermaid, looking for happiness, and the sea brings her love, but
when the sea is fierce it also brings misfortunes and storms.”
Gael Torrenegro (Daniel Elbittar)
was Marina’s first love, the man whom she gave herself completely to, even
though Adrián (Carrera) was willing to give her a pure and simple love. But
Gael stole her heart and she became pregnant with twins whom Gael refused to acknowledge
and whom Ramsés Torrenegro (Guillermo García Cantú), the most ruthless man,
took from her! Ramsés even tried to have Marina killed by setting fire to the
hospital where Marina had her twins, but luckily, Adrián and Consuelo, a nurse,
saved her. Years later, Marina is now Leona Bravo; and she moves to Mexico City
to infiltrate the world of the Torrenegro and seek justice and vengeance for
the death of her babies.
Interestingly, Adrián has
also taken on a new identity to stay alive; he is now David Alejo. But his love
for Leona/Marina stays true even though he never saw her again after the fire…until…
Joining Angelique and Danilo
are some familiar faces, such as: Leticia Calderon, Marlene Favela, and Luz
María Jerez.

escape, finds the treasure and goes to look for his love, Mariana, but Mariana

she was leading a double life!

family who have much to hide.

Labels: announcements, proximas, telemundo, unimas, Univision
Mi secreto has fresh faces staring and that is always good. I'm kind of interested in the Daniel Elbitar/ Angelique Boyer one, too, but Danilo Carrera is a huge turn off for me, and since he's the main male prota I might skip it completely.
Thanks again, RGV! Stay warm (-3°C this morning in Paris) and still no actual snow.
Adriana Noel
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 3:24:00 AM EST
I am a huge fan of Scarlet Gruber so I'm sure I will check out Ellas Soy Yo! Mi Secreto does look and sound interesting....intrigue! :) Cabo looks like a lot of pretty people and back biting and Drama with a capital D!! I will add that Christian de la Campa is also in this cast which is a bigger draw for me than Matias Nova or the other guy in the picture (LOL) but the plot does sound interesting, I've never seen Tu o Nadie.
I could be down for some of the Telemundo shows, not another Senor season! LOL But Amor Y Honor and Juego de Meniras look interesting... here's hoping 2023 brings lots of opportunities for snark and laughter to all our patios!!
I feel like a kid in a candy store, so many delicious concoctions. Too many delectable TNs, not enough real life time.
I am also looking at Daniel/Angelique and a few others...To be honest? Cabo is standing out, and I wish it had been scheduled further out rather than right after La Madrastra ends. I suspect I have a crush on Matias...
I'm starting to wonder if and when you sleep! Thank you for all of the many daily things you do to keep everything up and running.

I always look for familiar faces , so I am looking forward to " El Amor Invencible" with Angelique and the two Daniels .
I will give the others a try Whether on Uni or Telemundo.
. I am hoping for another good Turkish dizi because I have become a big fan after watching quite a few.
Fasten your seatbelts Here we go.....
OT....Cher Adriana, Cold and snowy where I am . I have been playing Scrabble in French .
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 11:06:00 AM EST
Diana, these do sound interesting, but I have a very short attention span when it comes to novelas if one of my favorites is not in it. Right now I'm kind of forcing myself to watch Corazon Guerrero, but some of these new shows have a lot of potential.
OT
Susanlynn, très bien! I don't think I'd be capable, French spelling is a nightmare. Even as I speak French every day, I work in French and I sometimes even think in French, it's still easier for me to write in English. I could never do recaps in French for exemple... My older daughter, who is seven, is learning how to read and write and I'm amazed by how natural it comes to her (born here), when I still have to struggle, especially with those nasty accents.
I hope weather doesn't take a turn for the worst next week because we have decided to spend the Holidays with our family back home and our plane tickets were cancelled, so we have to take the car. Yey! 24 hours drive (we'll be cutting the trip in two, with a hotel stay), I don't need any kind of snow, thank you very much!
I'm looking forward to finally getting to see Fernando Colunga on Telemundo. I was very sorry he wasn't in Malverde. (The actor who wound up playing Malverde, Pedro Fernández, was OK, but I kept imagining how much better it would have been with Colunga.)
Again, many thanks!!
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 12:55:00 PM EST
Adriana Noel, I must admit that I am already watching "Mi Secreto" and I really like it. It's like one of those traditional TNs of the 80s and 90s where there was very little physical violence (ie. murder); there's just lots of conniving underhandedness and intrigue against the main protag. And just a tidbit on the young female lead, Macarena Garcia--she has acting in her blood; her mother is Amairani Romero (Me Declaro Culpable, Por Amar Sin Ley) and her grandmother, Anabel Gutierrez, was a legendary actress in her own time...and BTW Macarena's resemblance to her grandmother is striking! Just look up "images" of the grandmother!
Jarifa, thanks back at you for all you continue to do to keep the patios going. I was SO excited that the Vencer series will continue!
Darcy, I really like Scarlet too! I'll give anything she is in a try.
Diana, "Too many delectable TNs, not enough real life time." Exactly!! And CABO does sound interesting. When I first started reading the summmaries, I was reminded of "Disenando Tu Amor" where there was a plane crash and the boyfriend was thought to be dead. Te acuerdas? But since it's on a 10PM, I'm not sure I'll be able to keep awake long enough to watch it.
Niecie, Yeah, no comedies :-( Oh well maybe later we'll get one.
Susanlynn, "El Amor Invencible" does sound good and I like all the main cast...so I'm in for now. I haven't heard anything about any more Turkish dizis on Telemundo :-/
Juanita, I am looking forward to seeing Fernando too, but I'm not a big fan of time period series; so we'll see how long I can stick to it. "Juego de Mentiras" looks really good--I like psych thrillers!
Anonymous at 12:55, never watched "Sortiligio", but "Cabo' did remind me a lot of "Disenando Tu Amor" which (oddly) was not an adaptation of "Tu o Nadie"
I found an item on the Telemundo website that might be of interest:
TELEMUNDO PRESENTS EL SECRETO DE LA FAMILIA GRECO, STARRING RENOWNED TELENOVELA STAR, FERNANDO COLUNGA, BEGINNING MONDAY, DECEMBER 19 AT 12AM/11C
https://www.nbcumv.com/mediavillage/interactive/2929fed4187b40648b79a9839e70e91fproduct169208/index.html#/brand/5476f206-b324-4f0f-aec7-b438919345e2/press-releases/0273c505-b946-4b6d-a4c7-2bd40e3ec4b2
But why are they showing this at midnight?
I don’t have any news about dizis coming to Telemundo or Uni in the near future. I am currently enjoying 1 weekly dizi airing in Turkey, Yalı Çapkını (Kingfisher), that’s at the top of the ratings there. It has millions of international viewers too. It could come to our screens. Some actors might be familiar to Caraymates, including Sultana from Hercai and Yahya from Embajador.
Susanlynn, our guy Engin Akyürek has supposedly signed on to a new series “Benim Adım Farah” (My Name is Farah) that is based on the American show, The Cleaning Lady, and the Argentinian show, La Chica que Limpia. Demet Özdemir (from Pájaro Soñador) will be his partner. Engin will play a mafioso. I haven’t seen the American show but I’ve read the plot description. I wonder how well this will go over with the Turkish audience.
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 3:39:00 PM EST
I think that El Conde looks interesting, and possibly Pienso En Ti.
I'm another one disappointed that there don't seem to be any upcoming comedies. Well, hope springs eternal, maybe one will sneak into the schedule.
Andy
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 6:21:00 PM EST
I've always liked Arap Bethke, ever since Doña Bárbara way back when, so that one sounds interesting.

violence if it’s to kill off other violent drug dealers and rapists).
Kelly
: Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 8:21:00 PM EST
I would just as soon forget that one. As it is, I had nightmares for a while that what's-his-name crawled out of the cave and came back in La Desalmada II.
The Apple Nazi says, "No apple for you!" :-)
Andy
There is also a Spanish miniseries with William Levy playing the count, I might check it out since it's only 6 episodes, nou sure when it comes out (also called Montecristo).
Ah, La Desalmada...Livia Brito said she refused a sequel because she plans to start a family this year. I think we owe her a big thank you :))
If I remember correctly, both Sortilegio and Cabo are remakes of Tu o nadie. I didn't care much for Sortilegio when it first aired, but I did like Zepeda in it.
Adriana Noel
: Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 2:22:00 AM EST
Adriana, I agree we owe Brito a big thank you.
Andy, RgvChick, I think we all watched “Mariana de la noche” way back when in the mornings. I thought Celeste in “Vencer la ausencia” looked familiar and it is Alejandra Barros, Mariana herself of the magical psychedelic glade! Ah, those were some cheesy special effects!
: Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 11:42:00 AM EST
Andy, I think I'll try out Pienso En Ti . I'm not a big fan of David, and I've never seen anything with Dulce Maria (that I remember LOL) so we'll see how that goes. I hope the music is good :-)
novelera, "I have always said I'd watch Fernando Colunga paint a fence, a la Tom Sawyer, so I'm on board for El Conde." LOL Too funny! If he's shirtless and even half as lean as he used to be, I wouldn't mind seeing him paint a fence either!
Kelly, I'm with you on "more traditional, old-fashioned novelas" It seems that those are usually the ones they show in the early afternoons.
Jarifa, YES! I do "cabalmente" remember Alejandra Barros in "Mariana de la Noche"! LOL do you remember Mr. "cabalmente?" LOL Seems like Alejandra is keeping busy. She was in a TN on Telemundo, last year I think, that was titled "Buscando a Frida." Then I saw her in "Los Ricos Tambien Lloran" and now in "Vencer La Ausencia."
I think that the “Vencer” franchise could go on a long time given that its structure is so open.
As for your kind comment, all I can say is that I am so happy to see so many caraymates involved and the blog flourishing on both the Uni and Telemundo sides. : )
: Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 2:56:00 PM EST
I think I'm the only person who never saw "Mariana!"
The first thime I saw Alejandra Barros was in La Verdad Occulta. One of my favorite TNs, she was one of the two female leads (Galilea Montijo the other). It was excellent and she ended up with Eduardo Yanez and Gabe Soto with Galilea. I also liked her in Los Ricos and of course now in Vencer.
Susanlynn, my first time seeing Colunga was "Pasion". He and Main Man Mario (Alberto Estrella) and Susana Gonzalez were wonderful! I will have to see Alborada one of these days.
Diana
: Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 5:32:00 PM EST
I have never seen Mariana or Verdad Occulta.
: Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 6:27:00 PM EST
The Colunga Telemundo show has a lot of TelevisaUnivision familiar faces on the cast!
Altair and Africa also joining TeleMundo doo!
I hope Mi Secreto gets a primetime slot on Univision! I think the main female antagonist is one of the kids on Mi Corazon Es Tuyo!
Always looking forward to any show with Angelique Boyer!
OT: Just realized Boyer and Sebastian Rulli's home countries were up against each other at the World Cup!
RGV Chick: Thank you very much for your long in-depth analysis of the upcoming 2023 Telenovelas.
I'll be watching "ESDLC" 100% since its one of my favorites. Interesting to see how Aurelio will reclaim his power in Season 8 🤔
Big question is whether Amado will be recast ?
Steve Boudreaux
: Monday, December 19, 2022 at 10:15:00 AM EST
Expect the Body Count to crack like 73 billion LOL in Season 8 of "ESDLC".
Steve Boudreaux
: Monday, December 19, 2022 at 10:18:00 AM EST
Steve, I hope you enjoy Season 8; I've never watched any of the seasons for ESDLC so I won't be joining in that one.
OT Diana, at the time "Mariana" aired, you were still working. The patio wasn't that big, but it was a blast...it was one that JudyB joined into and we did have lots of fun. "Mr. Cabalmente" was actually a character named Isidro played by Jose Carlos Ruiz. Isidro was a type of witch doctor who actually turned himself into a black hawk a couple of times!!! And he would use the word "cabalmente" just about as many times as Memo scratches his beard! LOL
: Monday, December 19, 2022 at 12:54:00 PM EST
I'll definitely recap Mi Secreto. Patiently waiting gor La Mujer de mi Vida since March 2022.
The Boyer one sounds interesting, I'll probably read the recaps.
Juego de Mentiras sounds cool, I'm glad it's an original story. We've had so many remakes! I'll also probably read the recaps.
Thanks, RGVChick!
And isn't William Levy doing a Conde also?
Doesn't Mexico have any new writers?
