Antenna 3 prepares for a new season as a familiar face warms up the studio. The program hosted by Pablo Motos is set to return next Monday, September 4, with a clear mission: to keep leading audiences for another year. On this much-anticipated comeback, the show will feature a guest whose presence promises plenty to discuss across the episode.
Isabel Pantoja, who has kept a lower profile on TV in recent years, is slated to open the 18th season of the program. As the season advances, reports from industry outlets confirm her involvement. The appearance is expected to rekindle significant viewer interest, following the program’s notable audience share and millions of viewers in past installments.
Meanwhile, a new rival has emerged in the Spanish TV landscape. Telecinco is launching a fresh format hosted by Jorge Javier Vázquez, featuring familiar collaborators such as Celia Villalobos, Anabel Alonso, and Germán González. This competitive move adds an extra layer of anticipation to the autumn television season.
Although the premiere date for the new Telecinco show remains unconfirmed, the potential clash between Isabel Pantoja and Jorge Javier Vázquez’s trajectory adds a spicy dynamic to the fall. The possibility of Pantoja returning to television after stepping back from a recent project underscores the shifting alliances and opportunities in prime-time reality and talk formats.
Isabel Pantoja’s career has recently taken her through different networks. In 2019 she appeared as a contestant on a reality series, later joining a talent show jury for younger performers. Her subsequent projects at various channels did not all find lasting success, including one program that did not continue into a second season, a reminder of the unpredictable nature of show business. Yet her enduring presence in the media landscape keeps her as a compelling figure for audiences and producers alike.
The ongoing public narrative surrounding Pantoja also touches on personal matters that have drawn media attention. In recent years, disputes involving her family have played out in public spaces, with family tensions sometimes intersecting with professional appearances. There are notes of intense media coverage and concern for personal relations, including moments involving family health and wellbeing that have resurfaced in coverage. Such dynamics often color public perception and add layers to the conversations around her candid interviews and appearances on late-night programs. This context may shape how viewers receive her on-screen presence and how producers approach broader storytelling during interviews with high-profile guests, including moments of candid reflection on career and family life.
