A few days after we told you that exclusively Fernando Colunga was out ‘Malverde, the patron saint’ Telemundo He would already have his replacement, who would start recording next week.
Many names were put on the table, and others with which they speculated … However, we learned unofficially that Telemundo would have already signed who the new ‘Malverde’ would be. WHO? Pedro Fernandez
Yes, who would take the place of Fernando Colunga, after he lost the lead role in the series for not wanting to travel to Mexico without being vaccinated against COVID-19, would be the eternal lead singer of ‘La Mochila Azul’. .
Fernández, according to our source, would have not only signed the contract within production, but even had his first encounters and had his character’s script in his hands.
Until now, very few people would be aware of this contract, which will no doubt be a risk. Not just because it would mark Pedrito’s return to telenovelas after his departure in 2014 ‘Until the end of the world’, in the middle of the recordings about health problems, but also because he would have to put himself in the shoes that were prepared for Colunga.
Fernández was already part of Telemundo when he was a coach ‘The Voice Kids’ in 2015 and 2016, his last television job.
When would the network announce it? According to what they officially told us, when we asked about Colunga’s departure, in the next few days this would be:
“‘Malverde’ is one of Telemundo’s greatest productions, and we are proud to bring this amazing story to Hispanics in the US. In the coming days we will be announcing the full cast of this original blockbuster hit”, they told us at the time.
At the moment, however, it is being handled in absolute secrecy and even the cast would not be aware of the new signing.
Will Pedro like ‘Malverde’? Will he be accepted by soap aficionados again after leaving the latter in the middle due to health issues? Will he be physically prepared for a character that requires both emotional and physical commitment?… All these answers will only tell time.
