A few days after I told you exclusively that Fernando Colunga he was out “Malverde, the patron saint”, Telemundo He would already have his replacement, who will start recording next week.
There were many names that were put on the table and others with which they speculated … However, we found out unofficially that Telemundo had already signed who will be the new “Malverde”. WHO? Pedro Fernandez.
Yes, who would replace Fernando Colunga, after the latter lost the lead role in the series, because he would not have wanted to travel to Mexico without being vaccinated against COVID-19, would be the eternal singer of “La Blue Backpack ”. .
Fernández, according to our source in the production, not only signed the contract, but even had his first meetings and the script of his character in his hands.
So far, very few people would know about this contract, which will undoubtedly be a risk. Not only because it would mark Pedrito’s return to soap operas, after he left in 2014 ‘Towards the end of the world’, in the middle of recordings claiming health problems, but also because they should have put themselves in the place prepared for Colunga.
Fernández was already part of Telemundo when he was coach ‘Children’s voice’ in 2015 and 2016, which was his last television station.
Do youWhen will the network be announced? According to what we were officially told, when we asked about Colunga’s departure, this will be in the following days:
“‘Malverde’ is one of Telemundo’s greatest productions and we are proud to bring this great story to Hispanics in the US. In the next few days, we will announce the full distribution of this original blockbuster.”, they told us then.
However, for the time being it is treated in absolute secrecy and not even the distribution would be aware of the new signing.
Will Pedro like “Malverde”? Will he be accepted again by soap opera lovers after leaving the last one in the middle accusing him of health problems? Will he be physically prepared for a character who requires both emotional and physical commitment?… All these answers will only tell time.
