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---

A Bit of "Coming Soon...2022)
SALUDOS,
Caraymates!
You
all haven’t “seen” me on the comments pages, but I’m still keeping an eye on everyone.
I saw that Stevey posted some comments on the Primetime page about upcoming TNS, so I thought I’d copy and post
them on a separate page so everyone can be in the know, especially since there
is mention about FERNANDO COLUNGA!! Here is what Stevey posted…

Coming to a Screen Near You...2021/2022, 3rd Ed.
SALUDOS, Caraymates!
Welcome to
the third/Fall edition of the “Coming Soon” page! We’re in the last laps of the
2021 year and currently have some pretty darned good TNS airing; some have a
ways to go while others have concluded or are in their last laps. HERCAI fans are biting their fingernails
and scratching their heads waiting to see what Telemundo will do with the third
season where bigger and better secrets are revealed…que angustia!!
While we
enjoy the current TNs, we can also look forward to what’s coming. By the looks
of what we are currently seeing, it seems that producers have heard the pleas
for more traditional and/or family-oriented TNs, but there are still a few
action-packed series out there. Below you will find some of the TNs that you
can expect on one of your favorite networks.
In this third
edition, you will also find a special section titled In the World of Dizi. Several
are already familiar with this genre of series which has become very popular in
recent years. Don’t know what a dizi is? Well, read on and you can find out
about it…and a very intriguing dizi that is on the horizon…well at least it is
to this viewer LOL

Coming to a Screen Near You...in 2021: 2nd Ed.
SALUDOS,
Caraymates!
Welcome
to the second edition of the “Coming Soon” page! We’re well into the 2021 year
and have some very interesting TNS airing; some have a ways to go while others
have concluded or are in their last laps; “so what’s next?” you may ask. Well,
we still haven’t seen many of the TNs discussed in the first edition of this
page and some are on their way while others have been cancelled for airing in
the US. You can forget about ¿Que Le Pasa
a Mi Familia?..that’s the one that Univisión cancelled due to some
unfortunate unforeseen circumstances that cannot be discussed here. Telemundo’s
Café Con Aroma with heartthrob,
William Levy, is “coming soon muy pronto” and some of us are excited about
that! There has been no mention of Fuego
Ardiente on Univisión, so we’ll just have to wait ‘n see what happens with
that. In regards to Malverde: El Santo
Patrón, well, we are disappointed that Fernando Colunga bowed out, but he
will be replaced by Pedro Fernandez; the TN is still expected to air sometime
in 2021.
So
what else is on the horizon? Well, get your coffee/drink and let’s talk…

Coming to a Screen Near You...in 2021
Greetings,
Caraymates and Happy Holidays!
Another
telenovela year comes to an end and I’m sure you are wondering what 2021 has in
store for us. In last year’s “Coming Soon”
pages, I listed some TNs that are yet to be seen, but have already aired in
Mexico. These include: Soltero Con Hijas
and La Mexicana y El Güero; so, we
may see these some time next year. As for “new” TNs, 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—

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/23/20: The Producers and Their Works
PRODUCERS TELENOVELOGRAPHIES
What do you think of the executive producers and their
works? Have they gotten better as their body of work grew? Have they faded or
taken an easier route (remakes) to the screen? What do you think of the Winners of the Best
Telenovelas for different years? Do you agree? I offered my own opinion in some
cases. Are the "less than best" attributed to them, the writers, directors or cast? There is no test next week, it’s for enjoyment only. You can skim
through your favorite and not so favorite executive producers to get a taste of
their taste in selecting stories to bring to the small pantalla. Maybe there is
a pattern to their choices, maybe not.
The listings are not purported to be exhaustive, or to name
every single producer who has ever made a telenovela we have enjoyed. For the purposes of this list, most of the producers
made telenovelas for Televisa and were shown on prime-time on Univision or made for Telemundo and recapped on CarayCaray. The Turkish offerings on Telemundo are
not covered here, although some were recapped on CarayCaray.
If anyone wants to add a producer, title, date, main stars,
please do so in your comments and I will gladly add them.

Coming Soon to a Screen Near You...in 2020
Greetings, Caraymates!
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.

Elenco and Short Sinopsis
A new series is premiering 9/30/19 from a partnership between Televisa and Univision and it promises quite alot! El Dragón, was created by Arturo Pérez Reverte, the same mind who conceived La Reina del Sur 6 -7 years ago.

SIN MIEDO A LA
VERDAD – PRODUCED BY RUBÉN GALINDO
Starts July 30th
at 10:00 PM on Univisión
“Sin
Miedo a la Verdad” revolves around Manu Montero (Alex Perea), an urban
hero, who has a “VLOG” (video blog),
that he uses under the pseudonym "Gus", his cybernetic identity. Manu
is an introverted, highly skilled young man. He is an expert at not only repairing
cell phones and other devices, but hacking systems and passwords. As a young
child, Manu suffered an accident which marked, not only his soul, but his face
(not as bad as Doc Mask , we hope).Despite his daunting past which still plagues
him, he has managed to survive thanks to Doña Cata (Dacia González), his
mentor, Manu works in the Plaza de la Computación, where they repair, adjust
and can get any kind of electronic device, but Manu’s only way to deal with the
pain of his past is by helping others who have been victims of some type of
injustice; and he does it anonymously through his VLOG "Sin miedo a la
verdad." . As Manu goes about
solving cases, he is persecuted by Horacio (Fermín Martinez), a corrupt
policeman, who wants to take revenge on Manu for killing his brother.
This series has already started Season 2 on Las Estrellas, but we won’t talk about
that to avoid any spoilers. Season 1 had 21 episodes; so this may be short
unless they air Season 2 immediately afterwards.Looks pretty good!

New Mini-Series Bio-Pic: Silvia Pinal: frente a tí (May 27-9:00 pm ET/8C)
Produced by
Carla Estrada
Directed by Carla Estrada and Mónica Miguel
Coming to Univision on Monday, May 27th, this is a 21-episode mini-series by our favorite Producer of Novelas de Epoca and other full-length telenovelas. This isn't her first appearance on the small screen since they did Sortilegio, but worthy of announcement in Proximas.
It will be narrated by Silvia Pinal herself. For awhile, it was touch and go whether the mini-series
would ever come to the screen, either in Mexico or the U.S. There was a delay in choosing the lead. Production was
halted and there were rumors that it had been given the ka-bosh in 2017, only to have it
announced it was only a postponement. Filming ended in April 2018. It was
broadcast in Mexico in February and March of 2019.
Here is the line-up (shortened considerably):
Itatí
Cantoral – the adult Silvia Pinal
Alberto
Casanova – Rafael Banquells
Marcelo
Córdoba – Arturo de Córdova
Pablo
Montero – Gustavo Alatriste
Harry
Geithner – Emilio Azcárraga Milmo
Gonzalo
Guzmán – Felipe Román
Arturo
Peniche – Luis Pinal
Gabriela Rivero – Sonia
Luis José

La Reina del Sur - Season 2 Starts Monday, April 22!
The celebrated novela
La Reina del Sur (2011) was the highest-rated series in Telemundo's history, and the best telenovela I've ever seen anywhere. Now, eight years later, Telemundo is about to present a sequel!
Season 2 will begin this coming Monday, April 22, 2019, at 10 PM. Like the original, it will star Kate del Castillo as the powerful drug trafficker Teresa Mendoza. A number of other members of the original cast will also return in season 2.
The new season of
La Reina del Sur was shot on location in eight countries — Italy, Russia, Romania, Spain, Belize, Mexico, Colombia and the U.S. It takes place eight years after Teresa Mendoza disappeared into the U.S. witness protection program after bringing down Mexican presidential candidate Epifanio Vargas (Humberto Zurita).
In season 2, Teresa is living a quiet life as Maria Dantes in a Tuscan village, where she is raising her daughter, Sofia (Isabella Sierra). That is, until the past comes back to haunt her (of course).
Season 2 starts this coming Monday, April 22, at 10 pm on Telemundo. I hear that Telemundo has added the option of English captions to make possible an even broader audience. Y'all come and watch and then share your thoughts on Caray's Telemundo y Más pages.

New Telenovela: Corazón Que Miente, Starts Monday June 4, 11 AM (EDT)
Attention Diego Olivera fans. He's back. For those of us who have been waiting for him to get another
plum role, after his success in
Mujeres de Negro, this one is worth a try.
Por desgracia,
Corazón que Miente is coming to
DAYTIME Univision (otherwise known as the vast Wasteland to where second tier telenovelas are banished when they don't fit into the nighttime schedule). Tune in at 11 am or set your DVR.
Synopsis: Mariela Salvatierra is orphaned at the age of 12,
after losing her grandfather, Manuel, a death she believes was caused by Demian
Ferrer. Mariel leaves the city with Leonardo del Río. Leonardo believes Demian is also the murderer of Lucía, Demian's
wife (and the love of Leonardo's life). Fifteen years later, the two return to avenge the deaths of their loved
ones while facing great obstacles. Ferrer is a powerful,
unprincipled and perfidious man who not only takes pleasure in others'
downfalls, but also does not care about the well being of his own family.
Mariela falls in love with Demian's eldest son, Alonso, with whom she was friends
as a child. Mariela and Alonso must overcome all the challenges that
impede their relationship in order to live their story of love. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey's Notes (Pt. III) – September 7, 2017
PART III – TELENOVELAS
FARTHER OFF INTO THE FUTURE
PRODUCTION #9 - Nicandro Diaz, fresh from El
Bienamado is apparently going to be doing a remake of famous telenovela
from Colombia, Las Juanas, so named
because it's a story about four women all named "Juana-(something)" à la
Anas in TVA.
PRODUCTION #10 – José Alberto 'El Guero' Castro, who should be ashamed of himself for how
little he did with a good story, great cast, and terrific setting in Vino el Amor, is hoping to try his luck
with one of my favorite types of stories, that with an 'antagonist-protagonist'
(think Teresa or Rubí but more evil).
The three classics he submitted to Lord High Ocampo were, apparently, La Sonrisa del Diablo, La Mujer de Judas,
and, my favorite, El Angel Caido. BUT... apparently she was having none of it,
and told him that his last remakes have been, well, porquerias and fracasos and
that he'd better find an original story to do, or he's off to the freezer to
join Emilio Larrosa. So we'll have to wait and see what he comes up with.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey's Notes (Pt. IIB) – September 6, 2017
PART IIB – TELENOVELAS IN
THE NEAR FUTURE
Here we go with
the rest of the telenovelas that are now in production.
PRODUCTION #6 – ME DECLARO CULPABLE – PRODUCER: ANGELLI NESMA MEDINA
**No broadcast
date for Mexico announced yet, but in production.**
I'm excited about
THIS story!! The name 'Univision' is already being associated with this
production (i.e. a 'Televisa/Univision' production). You guys might be
surprised to hear there is one country that isn't Brazil (or, of course,
Mexico) that has produced some really terrific novelas, most especially in the
new millennium. Indeed the number of productions that have been produced in
Mexico that were actually remakes of Argentinian originals is really quite
staggering, including some that I think a lot of people would consider so
intrinsically Mexican so as to be a part of the culture and country (Simplemente Maria is the one that comes
most immediately to mind), as well as some very prominent or popular novelas
from closer to our time (such as Amores
Verdaderos, Alma de Hierro, Rebelde, Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse, Una
Familia con Suerte, Un Gancho al Corazon, and I could go on). This decade, especially, I don't know how or
why, but Argentina has come out with telenovelas that are absolutely Awesome
(you'll please note that's capital “A'' awesome), and a true credit to the
genre. Giselle Gonzalez's next project is a remake of a recent Argentinian
telenovela and so is this one of Angelli Nesma Medina.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey's Notes (Pt. IIA) – September 5, 2017
PART IIA – UPCOMING
TELENOVELAS NEARLY HERE (OR ALREADY HERE)
Let's hope for
the best for the future of our telenovela world. Without further ado, let's let
Stevey get to the productions themselves! Now, again, these are all TELEVISA
productions. Which of these will actually get broadcast in the U.S. or when, is
anybody's guess, but if he has ANY further information as to “yea” or “nay,” he
will make sure to note it in his summaries. Here he goes! :-)
PRODUCTION #1 – MI MARIDO TIENE FAMILIA – PRODUCER: JUAN OSORIO
**Mexican debut
was on June 5, 2017.** Currently broadcasting on Univision, but I had this
written before it started airing, so please indulge me, okay?
First off, I have
to confess that I can't stand Juan Osorio. I think he's a megalomaniacal idiot
living off of his past successes, who patronizes his viewing audience more than
he does anything else by not offering anything of any depth or real quality,
just his dancing spawn Emilio (the product of his liaison with the BSC Niurka
Marcos, a woman who had her own talk show where she interviewed her guests in a
hot tub, and whose general classlessness is almost impressive in its absoluteness—and
who appeared as herself in Mi Corazon es
Tuyo), ad nauseam (you'll have to forgive me here as I deplore nepotism). In
talks about his next production, the currently airing Mi Marido Tiene Familia, Osorio went off on this screed about the
genre and the deplorable direction that telenovelas were going. He decried productions
in the vein of La Piloto and, well,
pretty much anything that Telemundo is airing, really, for being all about
drugs, violence, random killings, and generally speaking, not-nice things, CERTAINLY
NOT what should be on television during “family hour.” He said HIS production
was designed to take the genre back to where he (being all-knowing,
life-giving, all-powerful, and all that stuff) feels it should belong, and away
from things like gratuitous S&M scenes and torture (as was depicted
recently in Sueño de Amor, produced
by…uh…oh…wait for it…YOU, Sr. Osorio…hypocrite much?).
