Antena 3 is set to return the following Monday, September 2, with a new season of El hormiguero that promises more energy, humor, and unexpected surprises. In a competitive television landscape that already features Babylon Show on Telecinco and David Broncano’s latest venture on La 1, the popular format has fortified itself through strategic signings and fresh collaborations. Among the new collaborators joining the show are Susi Caramelo, Plex, and Juan Carlos Ortega. Each brings a distinct flavor to the program, expanding the cast with new dynamics, sketches, and interactive segments that aim to captivate both long-time fans and new viewers across the country.
The comedian will be part of the opening comedy meet-up, sharing the stage with renowned performers such as Luis Piedrahita, Marron, and El Monaguillo, creating a lively trifecta of humor and improvisation. Plex, who has carved out a niche with internet-driven content, will host a dedicated segment that blends online challenges with live television, delivering a format that tests wit, timing, and audience engagement in real-time. Meanwhile, Juan Carlos Ortega will attempt a different kind of mischief by engaging with guests through clever, light-hearted games that involve playful keyboard stunts and spontaneous conversations with surprising participants, adding an element of playful unpredictability to the show’s flow.
Through the week-by-week guest lineup, the show’s producers teased a roster designed to attract diverse audiences. Alan announced the first week’s guests, beginning with a high-profile tennis icon who needs no introduction: Rafa Nadal. The schedule also includes a Tuesday appearance by celebrated comedian Leo Harlem and a Wednesday slot featuring badminton champion Carolina Marín. The week will culminate with Joaquín Sánchez and his wife Susana Saborido, delivering a closer that blends humor with personal insights. Beyond the immediate week, the program has hinted at a broad array of upcoming guests for the near future, though exact dates remain to be confirmed. Rumors and official confirmations alike point to prominent figures from various domains who could bring cross-generational appeal to the set.
In addition to household names, the series has signaled interest in welcoming broader cultural figures who resonate with national audiences. The lineup is said to potentially include highly followed personalities from sports, music, acting, and television—names that have built sizable fan bases and generate considerable anticipation online. This mix of performers is designed to maintain El hormiguero’s signature blend of spontaneity, celebrity interaction, and engaging challenges while ensuring the show remains fresh and relevant as it moves through the season. The producers emphasize that the core appeal remains the same: lively conversations, games that entertain, and moments of genuine, relatable humor that translate well to both studio audiences and home viewers.
